A correctly installed flat roof comprises multiple layers working together to deliver thermal efficiency, structural integrity, and waterproof protection. Key components include:

• Structural deck (timber, concrete, or metal)
• Vapour control layer (VCL) to prevent condensation
• Rigid insulation boards to achieve required U-values
• Waterproof membrane system
• Edge trims, outlets, and detailing to manage water runoff
• All flat roofing systems are installed with appropriate falls to prevent standing water and reduce long-term material degradation.

We install and specify a range of modern flat roofing systems, selected based on performance requirements and site conditions:

• EPDM rubber roofing – A single-ply synthetic membrane offering excellent elasticity, UV resistance, and service life exceeding 30 years
• GRP fibreglass roofing – A cold-applied, fully bonded system providing a seamless, joint-free finish
• Torch-on felt roofing – A multi-layer bituminous system with proven durability and cost efficiency
• Single-ply membrane roofing – Lightweight, mechanically fixed or fully adhered systems suitable for large commercial roof areas
• All materials are sourced from reputable manufacturers and installed by trained professionals.

Flat roofing systems offer several technical and functional benefits:

• Efficient load distribution across the structure
• Compatibility with green roofs, solar PV systems, and rooftop plant
• Reduced material usage compared to pitched roofing
• Simplified access for inspection and maintenance
• When correctly designed and installed, flat roofs deliver long-term waterproofing performance and compliance with modern building standards.

Flat roofs are subject to thermal movement and environmental exposure, which can result in membrane fatigue, joint failure, or water ingress if not properly maintained. Our flat roof repair services address issues such as:

• Membrane splits or blistering
• Failed seams or upstands
• Water pooling and drainage defects
• Insulation saturation

Planned maintenance inspections can significantly extend the service life of a flat roofing system and reduce the risk of premature failure.

Our technical approach ensures every flat roof installation meets performance, durability, and safety requirements.

• Compliance with UK building regulations and manufacturer guidelines
• Precise detailing at edges, penetrations, and junctions
• Use of tested, specification-grade materials
• Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications
