Flat Roofing

Why Flat Roofing?

Many people go for pitched roofing as a solution for their home, but this is not always convenient.

Here are some reasons why you should choose flat roofing, and the benefits of this kind of solution:

  • More cost-effective than pitched overall

  • A Simpler process for construction

  • Easy and quick instillation onto your home or extension

  • Extra space on top of roof for balconies etc.

  •  Cheaper insulation and heating costs.

Repair

Over time, your flat roofing solution will have to face many different adversaries:

The elements, birds, rodents, and you want to be sure that your roof stays in-tact so that you are nice and dry.

We can step in to re attach and replace any part of your flat roofing solution to the highest standard.

Rubber

You do not need to protect your Firestone EPDM Roof as the Rubber Roofing membrane is resistant to UV & ozone. Recent studies show that the EPDM has a life expectancy of over 50 years, even when exposed to UV sunlight. You do not need to worry about maintenance once the EPDM is successfully installed. We do recommend that your check the condition of your Flat Roof ever year though. Firestone EPDM Rubber is less resistant to oil products. But contact with mineral and vegetable oils, petroleum based products, fresh bitumen and grease must be avoided. If your EPDM ever gets damaged, we have products to repair it so there is no need worry about expensive repair bills

Felt

Built up bituminous membranes are probably the most economic and common form of roof covering material for domestic flat roofs. They can be used on timber, metal and concrete decks. 

Today’s high performance felts are reinforced with polyester or glass or a mixture of the two, and are coated and impregnated with bitumen. High performance felts are supplied in rolls and can be laid in two layers bonded together with hot bitumen. The multiple layering reduces the risk of failure as any damage in one layer will usually be covered by the next layer.
