GRP fibreglass and EPDM flat roofing specialists in Lowden, Chippenham. Extension and garage flat roof replacement. Free no-obligation surveys.
In short: Flat Roofing in Lowden, Chippenham: Flat roofing runs £900–£2,500 for a typical extension. We cover Lowden (SN15) with free quotes, no call-out fee and a 10-year guarantee. Failing felt flat roofs are best replaced in GRP or EPDM rather than patched.
Flat roofing calls from Lowden are primarily flat roof extensions across all build phases — Victorian rear additions with aged felt, 1970s–80s extensions at end-of-life. We replace felt flat roofs with GRP fibreglass as standard — same cost bracket, 25-year material guarantee, seamless. Lowden is 2 miles from our base — free flat roof surveys throughout the area.
Lowden occupies the western side of Chippenham toward Corsham, with Victorian and Edwardian properties on the town edge transitioning to post-war semis and 1970s–80s detached housing further west. The proximity to Corsham's conservation area means some older Lowden properties have clay plain tile rather than the concrete interlocking tile dominant elsewhere in west Chippenham — requiring clay tile stock and lime mortar for repair work.
Free quotes. No call-out fees. under 15 minutes from Chippenham.
Lowden occupies the western side of Chippenham toward Corsham, with the proximity to the conservation area meaning some older properties have conservation-appropriate materials requirements alongside the standard estate housing profile.
Victorian and Edwardian properties on the town edge transitioning to post-war and 1970s–80s housing further west. The Corsham proximity means some properties have clay plain tile rather than the concrete interlocking dominant elsewhere in west Chippenham.
Lead valley failures on Victorian stock; early nail sickness on 1970s properties; and flat roof extension failures across both build phases. Clay tile matching required on period properties near the Corsham edge.
Lowden's position between the Victorian conservation area boundary and the post-war estate housing means we carry a broader material range to Lowden visits than to single-era areas — clay tile, lime mortar, concrete profiles and GRP materials.
GRP fibreglass is our standard recommendation for flat roof replacement across all Chippenham neighbourhoods — same cost bracket as re-felting, 25-year material guarantee, and no joints to fail. The deck inspection we carry out on every strip identifies any rotten boards before the new membrane is applied. Drainage fall correction is included as standard — ponding flat roofs were often built with insufficient falls and the membrane replacement alone doesn't resolve the underlying drainage issue. Where the existing felt is more than 25 years old, the boards beneath are always inspected before any new membrane is specified.
We carry GRP materials for neighbourhood emergency visits — same-day temporary seal is available when a full replacement needs scheduling. For properties in high-moisture areas of Chippenham, GRP is particularly well suited: it's seamless, UV stable, and handles the moisture environment significantly better than standard felt.

01249 247 076 ✉ Email UsLowden is a close-knit Chippenham district of Victorian and early-20th-century terraces west of the centre, with some later infill. On this kind of stock, the problems we see most in Lowden are slipped slates and tiles on the terraces, eroded chimney pointing, and shared-valley issues between terraced properties. Lowden sits west of the town centre, its older terraced roofs long exposed to the prevailing weather.
We remove the old covering and inspect the deck for rot — the step most quotes skip.
We check and correct drainage falls so water runs off cleanly rather than ponding.
A fixed price covering deck repairs, membrane and trims, agreed before work starts.
GRP is laid wet and cures seamless; EPDM is bonded as one sheet. Trims and upstands dressed in.
The finished roof carries a 25-year material guarantee (GRP) plus our workmanship cover.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Small extension (GRP, up to 15m²) | 1–2 days |
| Standard extension (GRP) | 2–3 days |
| Garage roof (EPDM) | 1 day |
| Deck / board replacement | +half to full day |
| Larger / commercial flat roof | per assessment |
GRP needs dry conditions to cure; we won't lay fibreglass in rain, so winter jobs are weather-scheduled.
Lowden's terraced streets are tight with no side access, so scaffold setup and skip placement take longer and pass over the front. Scaffold and skip permits go through Wiltshire Council, and on the terraced streets off Marshfield Road we allow extra time for setup. Access is always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra.
GRP carries a 25-year material guarantee and EPDM 20 years; our workmanship cover sits on top, and the deck and falls — which decide longevity — are guaranteed too.
