Installation & Repairs for Torch-On, Fibreglass & EPDM Roofs

Flat roofs require specific materials and expertise to perform reliably in Irish weather. At Cork Roofing Services, we provide high-quality flat roof repairs, replacements, and installations for homes, garages, sheds, and commercial buildings across Cork and nearby areas.

We've been working with flat roofing systems for over a decade — so whether you're dealing with a persistent leak or planning a full rebuild, we offer sound advice, clear pricing, and workmanship you can trust.

What We Do

• Flat roof repairs – fixing leaks, cracks, water pooling, blistering, and wear

• Full flat roof replacements – including insulation, timberwork, and drainage

• New flat roof installations – for extensions, garages, and porches

• Insulation & vapour barriers – compliant with current energy regulations

• Guttering & water run-off management – to prevent premature wear

Flat Roofing Materials We Use

We offer a range of flat roofing systems to suit different property types, budgets, and durability needs:

Torch-On Felt (Bitumen-Based)

• A multi-layer system heat-applied using a torch to seal and waterproof

• Lifespan: Up to 15+ years, depending on quality and maintenance

• Cost-effective, quick to install, and reliable for garages and sheds

• Widely used across Ireland and ideal for simple, functional flat roofs

• Requires professional installation and fire-safe application

Fibreglass (GRP)

• A seamless system using layers of resin and glass fibre, forming a solid waterproof shell

• Lifespan: Up to 30+ years with very low maintenance

• Highly durable and ideal for exposed or walkable roofs

• Visually clean finish – popular for extensions or balconies

• Requires dry conditions during installation; precision is key

EPDM Rubber

• Single-ply synthetic rubber membrane, installed without heat

• Lifespan: Up to 30+ years if installed with correct detailing

• Resistant to UV, weathering, and foot traffic

• Great for large or unusually shaped roofs due to its flexibility

• Minimal seams reduce leak risk and simplify maintenance

When Does a Flat Roof Need Repair or Replacement?

You may need flat roof work if you notice:

• Leaks or damp patches inside your home

• Water pooling or slow drainage

• Bubbling, cracks, or visible wear on the surface

• Roof sagging or soft spots

• A roof that's over 20 years old with repeated patch jobs

We'll carry out a no-obligation inspection to determine if a repair or full replacement is the better option — and we'll explain everything clearly before work begins.
