Flat roofs have a widespread reputation for being unreliable, leak-prone and costly to maintain, which can mean many home buyers in the Portslade area are put off by a property that has a traditional felt flat roof. While felt-bonded roofing undoubtedly can be prone to some of these issues, a well laid felt flat roof installed by a skilled Portslade roofer doesn’t need to be cause for concern – they can last for many years with only minimal maintenance required, provided they are installed correctly.

However, it’s understandable that many people prefer to minimise the risks as far as possible. One way to do this is to hire a skilled Portslade roofer to install a GRP fibreglass flat roof instead. This can bring the following benefits:

• no more costly maintenance
• a longer lifespan
• more cost-effective over time
• quick and straightforward to install
• can make your home easier to sell
• can come with practical properties, such as a non-slip finish
• comes in a variety of colours to suit any property
• also suitable for balconies, walkways, bay windows and more.
