New Alresford is Georgian market town on the chalk downland east of Winchester with a predominantly pre-1900 housing stock of considerable architectural distinction. elevated chalk downland position east of Winchester with south-easterly and south-westerly weather exposure; above-average wind compared to valley-floor locations. flat-roofed rear extensions and outbuilding roofs on Georgian and Victorian properties require GRP or EPDM; conservation area material constraints apply to visible flat roof sections. GRP fibreglass is our recommendation for most New Alresford domestic flat roofs — the seamless installation eliminates the joint failures that cause felt to leak, and the 25-year manufacturer warranty gives genuine long-term confidence. The elevated chalk downland position east of Winchester with south-easterly and south-westerly weather exposure; above-average wind compared to valley-floor locations means felt systems in New Alresford tend toward the lower end of their lifespan range.
GRP Fibreglass Flat Roofing in New Alresford
Before any flat roof installation in New Alresford we inspect the structural deck boards. Where deck boards are soft, saturated or delaminating, we replace them as part of the installation — deck replacement is included in the written quote after survey. We never install a new membrane over a failing deck. EPDM rubber in single fully-bonded sheets is the alternative for larger flat roof areas — sheets up to 12m wide cover most domestic New Alresford extensions in one piece with no joints at all.

What a Flat Roof Survey Involves
We survey the existing membrane from the roof surface — checking for blistering, cracking, joint failure and drainage falls. We inspect the deck boards at the edges and any accessible areas for softness or delamination. We check the outlet drainage and confirm the fall direction. The written survey report confirms whether repair is appropriate or whether replacement is the better value decision, with costings for both options where repair is viable. Deck replacement cost, where required, is confirmed before work starts — not discovered and charged afterwards. Free survey and written fixed quote. Call 01962 809171.
