Flat roofs don't drain like sloped roofs. Water sits instead of running off. That fundamental difference means flat roofing requires specialized materials, installation methods, and drainage solutions. Woolwich Roofing & Maintenance installs and repairs TPO, PVC, EPDM, and modified bitumen flat roofing systems throughout Woolwich.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Membrane Assessment
Before recommending repair, coating, or replacement, we inspect the entire flat roof system. Membrane condition, insulation integrity, and drainage patterns all factor into our recommendation.
System Recommendation
We present options, not ultimatums. If a repair extends your flat roof 5-10 years, that might be the smartest investment right now. If the insulation is waterlogged and the membrane is failing, replacement is the answer. We lay out the facts.
Membrane Installation
Flat roof installation requires specialized equipment and training. Our crew uses calibrated hot-air welders for TPO and PVC, torching equipment for modified bitumen, and proper adhesive systems for EPDM. Every seam, flashing, and penetration detail gets individual attention.
Final Inspection
Final roof inspection with drainage verification. Warranty paperwork provided. We recommend a maintenance plan to keep your flat roof performing and your warranty valid for its full term.

Why Choose Woolwich Roofing & Maintenance for Flat Roofing?
Electronic Leak Detection
We use electronic testing to pinpoint flat roof leaks without destructive investigation. Find the source, fix the source, move on.
Core Sampling & Testing
Before recommending replacement or coating, we core sample the roof to check insulation moisture. Waterlogged insulation means tear-off. Dry insulation means options.
Manufacturer Warranties
15-20 year manufacturer warranties on new flat roof installations. Coating systems warrantied for 10-15 years. All backed by certified installation.
Maintenance Programs
Semi-annual flat roof inspections keep your warranty valid and catch problems early. Drain clearing, seam checks, and flashing inspection, all documented.
About Our Woolwich Flat Roofing Services
EPDM (rubber roofing) has a 50-year track record as a proven flat roofing membrane. Fully adhered EPDM over polyiso insulation is a reliable, cost-effective choice for Woolwich property owners who want proven performance without the premium price of TPO or PVC.
Every flat roof Woolwich Roofing & Maintenance installs includes proper drainage design. Tapered insulation, cricket saddles around rooftop equipment, and properly sized drains or scuppers ensure water moves off the roof, not into your building. Ponding water voids many manufacturer warranties. We eliminate it.
