According to GoCompare, one in 10 people have had their garage converted within the last five years, emphasising just how crucial garages can be to homeowners, not just useful storage spaces but adaptable to your lifestyle and the needs of your family.
Whether your garage is a secure home for your car, a practical utility room, a gym, a distraction-free home office, or even a playroom for the kids, choosing the right roof for your garage is key. It needs to be secure, weatherproof and long-lasting. But with so many flat roofing solutions available, what material will be best for yours?
Even if you were to take a quick stroll up and down your street, you’ll likely find garages that are covered with materials such as felt, EPDM rubber, GRP (fibreglass) and PVC single-ply membranes. At High Tech, we firmly believe PVC stands out above the rest, offering superior performance, longevity and minimal maintenance.
PVC Single-Ply Membrane Garage Roofing: High Performing, Lightweight and Durable
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) single-ply roofing membranes deliver exceptional durability, weather resistance and peace of mind for homeowners. Unlike other materials, the very best PVC membranes deliver 100% waterproof protection whilst also being storm-resistant and guaranteed to not blister, crack or degrade due to expansion or contraction. This unique dimensional stability makes PVC membranes virtually maintenance-free, so it’s great for garages, no matter how you intend to use your space.
The durability of PVC roofing largely comes down to its titanium dioxide top layer, a crucial feature that reflects harmful UV rays. Unlike some conventional roofing systems, PVC membranes are resistant to moss and algae growth, eliminating the need for regular chemical treatments or cleaning to remove biological build-up.
The Rise of PVC Roofing for Garages
The UK flat roofing market has seen steady growth, but it’s single-ply membranes that continue to capture a significant share. PVC has emerged as one of the preferred materials among architects, contractors and property owners. Ultimately, people want durable, long-lasting solutions for their garages.
When it comes to your garage – especially if you’ve converted it into a practical living space – PVC flat roofs offer reliable protection against unpredictable UK weather and outstanding longevity. PVC membrane is fully compatible with warm or cold deck insulation systems, allowing you to achieve excellent thermal efficiency and reduce heating costs. Choosing a PVC single-ply membrane means investing in a secure, comfortable, and low-maintenance solution. Our experienced team is fully licensed and certified to install premium PVC roofing products from the industry’s leading manufacturers, such as Bauder, Protan, and Sika Sarnafil.
These brands maintain strict guidelines, only supplying materials to approved and accredited installers—unlike other roofing solutions such as felt, GRP or EPDM, which anyone at a builders’ merchant can often purchase. This exclusivity means that when you choose PVC roofing installed by High Tech, you’re not only getting exceptional quality but also first-class workmanship from trusted experts. We offer a 20-year full product and labour warranty fully transferable on request should the property be sold, which gives you peace of mind knowing your investment is protected.
Investing Wisely: Cost vs. Long-term Benefits
Initially, when researching various garage roof materials, PVC single-ply roofing may seem costlier than traditional options such as felt or rubber. However, this higher upfront investment translates directly into long-term savings. The minimal maintenance requirements, combined with an extended lifespan, make PVC roofing a wise choice for garages of all shapes and sizes – from single, double, or triple garages to converted spaces like kitchens, home offices, gyms, games rooms, workshops or playrooms. Whatever your garage’s purpose, PVC roofing ensures reliable protection and lasting peace of mind.

“Hi-Tech made replacing my garage roof a worry-free experience. Steve Thornton came by, measured the roofs and checked their overall condition, giving me a price the same day. Steve was very genuine and easy to talk to—I didn’t feel any pressure to use Hi-Tech at any point. Alex and his team installed my new roofs and were very polite, thoroughly explaining their work and even sending photos directly to my phone to show their progress. The guarantee was the icing on the cake. The roofs look great, and I wholeheartedly recommend them.”
