Flat Roofing in Havant
Havant’s mix of historic town-centre terraces, 1930s semis and newer estates toward Langstone Harbour all bring flat roofs into the mix — usually extensions, garages and outbuildings — and ponding water, cracked felt or a soft patch underfoot are the most common signs something needs attention. All Round Roofing has repaired and replaced flat roofs across Hampshire and West Sussex since 1976, using EPDM, felt, liquid rubber and GRP systems.
Being a family-run business means we’d sooner give you a straightforward answer than talk you into work you don’t need. Where a repair will do the job, we’ll say so — a full re-cover only gets recommended when it’s genuinely necessary.
You don’t need to know what’s caused the problem before you call us. Standing water, a soft or spongy patch, or a leak that’s shown up indoors is enough reason to get in touch — we’ll work out what’s going on once we’ve had a look.
Flat Roofing Services We Provide in Havant
EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM rubber is usually our first choice for flat roofs in Havant — a single-membrane system with no seams to fail, able to cope with standing water and the local weather without the cracking or blistering felt can develop. We install and repair EPDM on extensions, garages, sheds and outbuildings across the town.
Torch-On Felt Roofing
Torch-on felt is a well-established three-layer system — an underlay, a mineral cap sheet and a bitumen covering — heat-bonded to the deck with a blowtorch, giving a durable finish at a lower cost than some alternatives.
Liquid Rubber Roofing
Liquid rubber is applied as a seamless coating and cures into a single, fully bonded waterproof membrane, which makes it a good option for roofs with awkward shapes, upstands or detailing that a sheet material would struggle to fit around cleanly.
GRP Roofing (Fibreglass)
GRP (fibreglass) roofing provides a rigid, glass-reinforced finish that’s known for its strength and long lifespan, making it a good fit for larger flat roof areas and balconies where durability matters most.
Flat Roof Repairs AND Maintenance
Not every issue calls for a full re-cover — we repair splits, blisters, perished flashing and other localised damage where that’s the right solution, and only move to replacement when a repair genuinely won’t hold up.
If you’re unsure whether your flat roof needs a repair or a full re-cover, that’s completely understandable — it’s rarely obvious from the ground. Get in touch and we’ll inspect it properly before recommending anything.
Signs Your Flat Roof Needs Attention
Most flat roof problems give some warning before they become serious. Keep an eye out for:
- Water pooling on the roof for more than 48 hours after rain.
- Cracks, blisters or splits in the roofing membrane.
- A soft or spongy patch when walked on.
- Water stains or damp patches on ceilings below.
- Moss, debris or standing leaves building up on the surface.
- Flashing or edge trims lifting or coming away.
None of these problems automatically mean you need a full re-cover — many are straightforward to repair when they’re caught early, which is exactly why it’s worth having a problem looked at rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover all of Havant for flat roofing?
Yes. We provide flat roofing across Havant and the surrounding area, alongside Chichester, Portsmouth, Worthing and the wider Hampshire and West Sussex area.
My flat roof has water sitting on it — is that a big problem?
Not necessarily, but it’s worth getting checked. A little standing water after heavy rain is normal on a flat roof, but if it’s still there a couple of dry days later, it can point to a drainage or membrane problem — and left alone, that can shorten the roof’s life.
How do I know if I need a flat roof repair or a full re-cover?
That depends on the age, condition and extent of the damage, so we’ll always take a proper look before recommending anything. Plenty of problems that look serious from below turn out to be straightforward repairs — we’ll give you honest options rather than push for a bigger job than you need.
Are you insured?
Yes, All Round Roofing is a fully insured company.

Yes — flat roofing work is covered by our 20-year flat roofing guarantee. We’ll confirm exactly what applies when we quote for your job.
