Local context — flat roofing in Marlow
Flat-roof work in Marlow (SL7) is dominated by single-storey rear extensions, garage roofs, dormer cheeks and porch roofs. Riverside humidity and the prevailing south-westerly off the Thames accelerate mortar erosion on chimney stacks — we routinely repoint and re-flaunch listed-area stacks every 15-20 years here. For new flat roofs notifiable to Buckinghamshire Council we provide the system spec, U-value calculation and fire-class evidence as standard — not an extra.
We work across SL7 with easy access from A404 (M40-M4 link) and A4155.
Why Marlow homeowners pick Butler Bespoke Roofing

Frequently asked — Flat Roofing in Marlow
EPDM rubber or felt — which is better?+
For most extensions in Marlow we recommend single-ply EPDM rubber: one-piece installation, 25+ year life and no seams to fail. Torch-on felt is still the right call for some applications and budgets.
How long does a flat roof last?+
A properly installed EPDM rubber flat roof in Marlow should give 25-30 years; high-performance torch-on felt 15-20 years.
Can you overlay my existing flat roof?+
Sometimes — only if the deck and existing covering are sound. We'll always inspect and recommend a strip-and-refresh where overlay would just store up problems.
How quickly can you fix a leaking flat roof in SL7?+
Emergency patch repairs in SL7 are usually a same-week visit. We tarpaulin if needed, then quote properly for a long-term fix.
Will the new flat roof take a Velux?+
Yes — we install Velux flat-roof rooflights with kerb upstands and full EPDM/lead detailing during new flat-roof installs across Marlow.
