What Type of Roof Is Best for a Garage?
Choosing the right roof for your garage depends on several factors, including the building's structure, intended use, and budget. Flat roofs are popular for modern garages due to their clean look and cost-effectiveness. In contrast, pitched roofs offer better drainage and a more traditional appearance. Common materials used for
garage roofs include felt, GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber, and corrugated steel or plastic sheets. Each option has its advantages—fibreglass is highly durable and low maintenance, while rubber is flexible and resistant to extreme weather. At Roofing Croydon, we provide expert advice and installation to help you select the most suitable solution for your property. Whether you need a full
garage roofing system for a new build or a replacement for an ageing

When Should You Replace Your Garage Roof?
Several clear signs indicate it may be time for a
garage roof replacement. If your garage roof is over 15–20 years old, it's likely nearing the end of its functional life, especially if made from traditional felt or outdated materials. Common warning signs include persistent leaks, water stains on the ceiling, sagging or uneven rooflines, and visible damage such as cracks or blistering. In some cases, temporary repairs may no longer be effective or cost-efficient, and continuing to patch up old roofing can cost more in the long run. Structural concerns, poor insulation, or recurring dampness inside your garage indicate that the roof no longer offers reliable protection. Damaged or ageing
garage roofs can lead to long-term issues such as mould, rot, or even compromised safety of stored items. At Roofing Croydon, we conduct thorough inspections to determine whether a full replacement is necessary, ensuring that you invest only when it's truly needed. Our goal is to restore the integrity and function of your garage with high-quality roofing solutions that stand the test of time.
How Much Does a Garage Roof Cost?
The cost of a garage roof varies based on several key factors. Here’s a breakdown to help you understand what influences the total cost:
Size of the Garage
A larger garage requires more materials and labour, increasing the overall garage roof replacement cost. The roof area directly affects how long the job takes and how much it will cost in supplies.
Type of Roofing Material
Felt is one of the most affordable options, while GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber are more expensive due to their durability. Your choice of material significantly impacts both the upfront price and long-term maintenance.
Roof Style (Flat or Pitched)
Flat garage roofs are typically quicker and cheaper to install compared to pitched roofs. However, pitched roofs offer better water drainage and may add to your property's aesthetic value.
Current Roof Condition
If the existing roof is severely damaged or has structural issues, the cost will increase due to additional prep work. Removal and disposal of old roofing materials can also affect the cost to replace a garage roof.
Labour and Access
Limited access to your garage can make installation more complex, raising labour charges. Similarly, more intricate designs or multi-layered roofs may require additional time and effort.
Additional Features
Enhancements like insulation, skylights, or ventilation will increase the final price. These upgrades can increase comfort and energy efficiency but should fit your budget.
At Roofing Croydon, we offer tailored quotes based on your specific requirements and site conditions. We aim to deliver quality workmanship at a fair price for all garage roofing projects.
How Long Do Garage Roofs Last?
The lifespan of garage roofs depends mainly on the materials used, the quality of installation, and how well the roof is maintained over time. Felt roofs typically last around 10 to 15 years, while more durable options like GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber can last up to 30 years or more with proper care. Environmental factors also play a role—frequent exposure to heavy rain, snow, or strong winds can shorten the life of a garage roof, especially if it hasn't been installed to high standards or lacks adequate drainage. Routine maintenance and timely repairs can significantly extend the longevity of your garage roof. If left unaddressed, issues like pooling water, small tears, or blocked gutters can lead to early deterioration and costly repairs. At Roofing Croydon, we ensure every garage roofing system is fitted precisely and designed to withstand the elements. Whether you're installing a new roof or replacing an old one, investing in quality materials and professional workmanship is key to maximising the roof's lifespan.
