Flat Roofing in Harrogate
Extension roofs, garage roofs and dormer tops repaired or replaced, and tired flat roofs converted to pitched ones where that makes sense.
Proline Roofers Harrogate repairs and replaces flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers and porches across Harrogate. We check the deck under the covering as well as the surface, because a soft deck means replacement rather than a patch. Flat-to-pitched roof conversions are also available.

Flat to pitched conversions
If a flat roof keeps failing, replacing it with a pitched roof is an option worth considering. One of the photos shows a new timber hip roof framed out on top of an old flat roof, ready to be boarded, felted and tiled. A pitched roof sheds water rather than holding it and can suit the look of the house better. Planning rules may apply, so we'll talk it through with you first.
Upstands and edges
Most flat roof leaks start at a junction: where the roof meets a wall, goes round a rooflight or ends at the edge trim. On a new flat roof those details get the same attention as the open surface, as with the rooflight upstand in the photo.

Flat roofing: your questions
Should I repair or replace my flat roof?
If the deck is solid and the damage is in one spot, a repair is sensible. If the boards are soft or the covering has failed in several places, replacement stops the cycle of patching.
GRP or rubber: which is better for a flat roof?
Both are widely used. GRP fibreglass cures to a hard, seamless finish; EPDM rubber goes down as one sheet and handles movement well. We recommend one based on the roof's size, shape and use.
Can you turn my flat roof into a pitched roof?
Yes, we can frame and cover a pitched roof over an existing flat roof. Planning permission may be needed depending on the property and the change in height, so check before committing.
Do you replace garage roofs?
Yes, attached and detached garages alike.
