DPR Roofing: Dedicated Flat Roof Specialists
Flat roofs are a fundamental part of many residential and commercial properties in Preston, commonly found on extensions, garages, porches, and commercial buildings. Due to their low pitch, flat roofs demand specialized installation and maintenance to prevent the common problems associated with standing water and material breakdown. At DPR Roofing, we are experts in installing, repairing, and replacing all major types of flat roofing systems, ensuring a durable, watertight, and long-lasting solution.

Understanding Flat Roof Vulnerabilities
Unlike pitched roofs, which quickly shed water, flat roofs rely entirely on the integrity of the covering material and proper drainage to prevent failure. Common issues that signal the need for professional intervention include:
Ponding Water: Standing water causes accelerated material degradation and leakage.
Blistering or Cracking: UV exposure and temperature fluctuations can cause membranes (felt, asphalt) to crack or lift.
Internal Damp: Leaks that appear often indicate failure of the underlying layers or defective edge trims and flashings.
We address the core issues, ensuring the roof deck is sound and the final finish is applied correctly to guarantee optimal drainage.

Our Advanced Flat Roofing Systems
We offer a range of modern, high-performance flat roofing solutions, allowing us to specify the best material based on your budget, projected foot traffic, and desired lifespan:
1. High-Performance Felt Roofing (Torch-On Systems)
Modern built-up felt systems use multiple layers of high-grade, bituminous membrane, often applied using safe, controlled torch-on techniques. This provides a robust, highly resilient, and cost-effective solution for various flat roof structures. Our multi-layer approach ensures excellent resistance to punctures and weathering.
2. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) Rubber Roofing
EPDM is a popular, single-ply rubber membrane renowned for its superior longevity (often 50+ years), flexibility, and minimal maintenance requirements. It is installed cold, creating a seamless, highly durable, and waterproof covering that is ideal for residential flat roofs, especially those with complex shapes or penetrations.
3. GRP Fiberglass Roofing (Glass Reinforced Plastic)
GRP offers an extremely hard-wearing, maintenance-free, and aesthetically modern flat roofing solution. The liquid resin and fiberglass matting cure to form a seamless, monolithic structure that is highly resistant to impact, standing water, and UV damage. GRP is perfect for balconies, walkways, and areas requiring a robust finish.
