Early overspill estate with non-traditional construction, partially regenerated in 1990s. The 1960s system-built terraces with integral flat sections along Crossborough Hill, Western Way, Doggett Road present specific flat roofing challenges: system-built flat roof sections perished beyond repair. Our approach is tailored to these exact conditions — not a generic specification applied to every Basingstoke property regardless of its neighbourhood.
Step one: strip the existing covering completely. We never overlay new material on old — it hides deck problems, adds weight, and voids manufacturer guarantees. Step two: inspect the timber deck for rot, delamination and adequate structural support. Any compromised sections are replaced with marine-grade plywood. Step three: create correct drainage falls using tapered insulation or firring strips — minimum 1:40 gradient so water reaches the outlet rather than ponding.
For GRP, we apply resin and glass fibre matting in controlled conditions, building a seamless shell bonded to every surface including upstands, edge trims and pipe penetrations. For EPDM, the rubber membrane is fully bonded to the prepared deck with all edges and terminations mechanically secured and sealed.
Correct drainage separates a flat roof that lasts 25 years from one that fails in five. We calculate required falls from the roof area and outlet position, then build the gradient into the deck rather than relying on the membrane to shed water across a level surface. On South Ham properties this matters because the non-traditional system-built construction integrates flat and pitched sections in ways conventional detailing does not cover.
GRP installations carry a 25-year manufacturer guarantee plus our 10-year workmanship guarantee. EPDM carries 20–25 years depending on the membrane specified. Both need minimal maintenance — clear the outlets twice a year and check the edges annually. We provide written aftercare guidance specific to your roof's design and your property's exposure to trees and debris.
