A flat roof replacement strips the old covering from a low-pitched roof and lays a new waterproof system, usually EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or torch-on felt, over a sound deck with correct falls, upstands, trims and outlets so rainwater drains away.
We offer a new flat roof across County Fermanagh, and Enniskillen is one of the places we cover, along with nearby Omagh, Strabane and Dungannon. Before anything is agreed we visit, check the existing structure and talk through your options. You then receive a written quote setting out the full scope; for most homes in Northern Ireland it sits within £1,700–£3,900 including VAT.

Building in Enniskillen
Enniskillen has Georgian and Victorian streets on its island centre, and smaller towns such as Lisnaskea and Irvinestown have terraced main streets. Most of the county is rural, with farmhouses, detached homes and bungalows, many rendered or roughcast, and newer houses built around the lakeland.
Fermanagh is one of the wettest parts of Northern Ireland, and low ground around Lough Erne can flood.
None of this holds for every street in Enniskillen, which is why we look at your actual house before pricing a new flat roof rather than assuming from its age alone.
Permissions for a new flat roof in Enniskillen
Planning law differs across the UK. For a home in Enniskillen, it is the Northern Ireland rules below that count, and we check them with the council ahead of any quote.
In Northern Ireland, re-roofing with similar materials does not usually need planning permission outside listed buildings and conservation areas.
Significant re-roofing should be checked with building control under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). Bats are protected across the UK; if they roost under roof tiles, soffits or fascias, work stops and a licensed ecologist advises before it restarts.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
What happens after you get in touch?
We look at the job
Book a visit and we'll come to you. The survey covers measurements, the state of what's there now and any obvious constraints, so the price that follows is based on your actual home, not an average.
Your fixed price
We turn the survey notes into a written quote. The price is fixed for the specification we agree, and the document sets out materials, scope and payment stages in plain language.
Getting ready
Next comes planning the work itself. We set a start date that suits you, line up the right trades, and make sure any approvals for a new flat roof are in place before the first day on site.
On site to finish
The job proceeds in the order set out in the programme, with dust and debris kept under control. Finally we tidy away, inspect the work together and pass the finished project over to you with its paperwork.

Questions about a new flat roof in Enniskillen
How long does a flat roof last?
A well-installed EPDM or GRP flat roof can last 25 years or more, while torch-on felt systems typically last around 15–25 years, depending on quality and exposure. Lifespan depends on correct falls, good detailing at edges and upstands, and keeping outlets clear. Foot traffic, ponding and poor ventilation shorten it. Annual checks help catch small problems early.
Why does water sit on my flat roof?
Ponding water on a flat roof is usually caused by inadequate falls, sagging joists, a deck that has dipped or blocked outlets. Small puddles that dry within a day or two are not always a problem, but standing water speeds up wear and finds any weakness. A new roof can be laid on firring strips or tapered insulation to create proper falls. We check falls during the survey.
Who do I deal with during the job?
One point of contact manages your project from survey to handover. They schedule the trades working under our contract, keep you updated on progress, and are the person to call with any question. You don't need to coordinate builders, electricians or decorators separately, because that is part of what we do.
Can you combine a new flat roof with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan a new flat roof alongside other work on your Enniskillen home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
How much does a new flat roof cost?
Re-covering a typical 15–25m² extension or garage roof costs £1,700–£3,900. As a guide, allow around £75–£170 per square metre plus fixed costs for stripping, waste and access, with torch-on felt at the lower end and GRP or EPDM with new decking or insulation at the top. Small dormer and porch roofs cost less overall but more per square metre. We confirm a fixed price after the survey.
