FlatRoof Masters provides flat roofing in Benllech for homeowners, holiday-home owners, landlords, businesses and managed properties. We repair leaking flat roofs, replace ageing coverings and install new flat roofing systems on extensions, garages, dormers, porches, balconies and commercial roof areas.
Benllech is a popular coastal village on Anglesey's east coast, known for its beach at Red Wharf Bay and a mix of family homes, holiday lets and static caravan sites nearby. That mix of property types means flat roofs here range from small garage roofs to larger holiday-let extensions, each with different demands depending on how often the building is used and how exposed it is to the weather.
A flat roof rarely fails for one simple reason. A brittle, sun-damaged membrane needs a different approach from a roof with a blocked outlet, a failed wall junction or decking that has taken on water. Before recommending any work, we look at where the water is actually getting in, not just where it has come through.
Coastal exposure and sun affect flat roofs differently to inland properties. Older felt roofs can become brittle and crack in strong sunlight, while wind coming off Red Wharf Bay can lift trims and force water into weak edge details during storms.
Common issues we see around Benllech include:
A roof used only seasonally, such as a holiday let, can develop a slow leak that goes unnoticed for months between visits. Regular checks matter more on these properties than on a home lived in every day.
A repair is usually the sensible option where the fault is contained: a cracked seam, a single failed outlet, a lifted trim or an isolated puncture, with the rest of the roof and deck still sound.
Replacement becomes the better value when the covering has degraded across a wide area, the deck has taken on moisture, several past repairs have already failed, or the roof holds water after rain due to poor falls. On a holiday let or rental property, we also weigh up how much disruption repeated repairs cause against the value of a single, more permanent replacement.
We tell you plainly which option suits the roof in front of us, including where a straightforward repair is genuinely all that's needed.
EPDM is a flexible rubber membrane well suited to garages, extensions and larger uncomplicated roof areas, including many holiday-let roofs. It resists sun exposure well over time when properly installed, with secure detailing at every edge, corner and outlet.
GRP forms a rigid, seamless finish on site and suits dormers, balconies and roofs with more defined edges. It depends on a dry, stable deck and correct weather conditions during installation, so timing the work properly matters.
Modern reinforced felt is a multi-layer system, not a basic patch job, and can suit roofs with several junctions or changes in level. Its performance depends entirely on correct laps, upstands and perimeter finishing.
Liquid systems suit roofs with awkward penetrations, box gutters or complex detailing, and can be a practical refurbishment option once the existing roof has been checked for compatibility and stability.
A warm roof adds rigid insulation above the deck with the correct vapour control layer, useful above extensions and heated rooms. Roof height, drainage and wall junctions all need to be planned together before insulation is added.
We carry out flat roof work on:
A roof above a holiday let sitting empty for weeks at a time needs different consideration from a roof above a family home used daily — access for repairs, seasonal timing and the risk of an unnoticed leak all factor into how we plan the work.
FlatRoof Masters is based in Gaerwen and covers Benllech and the wider island. We diagnose the actual cause of a roof failure rather than defaulting to the same material for every job.
FlatRoof Masters provides flat roofing throughout Benllech, Red Wharf Bay, Moelfre, Brynteg, Pentraeth, Marian-glas, Llanbedrgoch and surrounding east Anglesey communities.

If your flat roof is leaking, holding water after rain, showing signs of age or part of a planned extension, contact FlatRoof Masters with the property location and a short description of the work.
We will arrange an appropriate assessment and provide a clear, no-obligation quotation based on the roof itself.
"We rent our place out near the beach in Benllech and noticed a leak after a run of guests mentioned a damp smell. FlatRoof Masters came out quickly, found the cause and had it fixed before our next booking. Really glad we called them when we did."

"The felt on our garage roof had gone brittle and was cracking in a few spots. They explained why it had happened and replaced it with something more durable. Tidy job, no fuss."
Bethan Pugh
"Had a small leak above the porch that turned out to be a lifted trim. Quick to sort, fair price, and they didn't try to push us into a full replacement we didn't need."
Catrin Hughes
“We noticed a wet patch appearing on the kitchen ceiling and called FlatRoof Masters. They inspected the flat roof, explained the problem clearly and gave us sensible options without pushing us. We chose a replacement and the job went smoothly from start to finish.”

Choosing the right material for a flat roof is more important than simply choosing the newest product or the system somebody recommends first. A good flat roof needs to suit the actual condition of the roof, how water drains from it, the details around walls and edges, and how the property is used.
