FAQs
Flat Roofing in Maidstone: FAQs
Do you provide flat roofing across all of Maidstone?
Yes, we cover the ME14, ME15 and ME16 postcode areas in full, including Allington, Barming, Loose, Penenden Heath, Tovil, Weavering, Bearsted.
Which flat roof system should I choose — EPDM, GRP or felt?
EPDM offers a long lifespan with a single membrane and few joints, suiting most domestic flat roofs; GRP suits roofs with complex upstands and detailing since it's laid and cured seamlessly in situ; felt is the lowest-cost option but has the shortest expected lifespan. We advise on the right system for your roof and budget at survey.
Why does my flat roof have ponding water?
Ponding usually means the roof's falls — the slight slope that directs water to an outlet — are insufficient or have settled over time. We assess and correct falls as part of re-covering rather than simply laying a new membrane over the same problem.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
