Flat Roofs

Flat Roofing is our speciality. From garage roofs to green roofs, from school cabins to hospitals, to a sedum-planted Embassy roof, the National Library of Wales Plant Room, hotel complexes and a rooftop mini-golf course. Our pioneering liquid polymer system is hassle-free, affordable, durable and high performance. We use self-levelling roofing compounds where required, can taper insulation and drainage and line for planting if desired. What's more, we can usually fix or refurbish a flat roof IN ONE DAY, even between weather fronts, and can get to pretty much any roof in the UK - fast.

The finished white quartz 20 yr system blends seamlessly with the architecture

This terrace refurb case study demonstrates just how flexible the polymer system can be. This smart property in Lexham Gardens in South Kensington, London W8, had several exterior areas showing significant signs of degradation and pooling. These ranged from very narrow areas fronting the property to a patio seating area providing usable outdoor space.

The entire area was coated in a 20 year Sika polymer system combining a white quartz…

Tapered warm roof terrace in Radlett, Hertfordshire

This roof terrace in Radlett near Watford in Hertfordshire, North London received a brand new polymer treatment during the winter months. As the photo shows, the terrace / balcony is subtly tapered, allowing for rainwater run-off and drainage.

The polymer system is jointless and seamless, affordable, long-lasting and allows for a wide range of balcony and roof terrace options including grip-enhancement, pigmented quartz in a…

This large roof space needed repairs in several places

This building in Bude in North Cornwall needed its roof converted from Cold Roof to Warm Roof. This was however a trickier than usual job as the existing roof needed to remain entirely in situ and there was a very large area requiring insulation.

The photos above show the state the roof was in prior to work commencing, with the last 4 pictures showing the completed installation.

The area itself was large, and contained several…

The warm roof insulation layer is installed

This flat roof in Waunfawr, Aberystwith in Ceredigion (West Wales) required warm roof insulation to comply with government U-values regarding (a measure of the rate of heat transfer across a surface). Roof "obstacles" and detailing are no problem at all for the polymer system but in this case were sparse, being limited primarily to chimney venting.

We installed the requisite insulation course (see our specialist warm roof / flat roof…

This Warm Roof on St Davids Rd, Aberystwth abuts the main property

The abutting roof on this property on St Davids Road in Aberystwth needed full insulation to comply with governmental "U-Value" standards. "Warm roofs" differ from cold roofs in that they do not require ventilation and the insulation is placed above, rather than between the joists. They are required by law on certain roof types such as where people will live and/or work beneath or, as here, where an extension meets the main roof (see warm…

Insulation being laid

This flat roof in west Wales needed proper ventilation to resolve moisture build up, a common problem for cold roofs (explained here in relation to warm roofing) especially in such notoriously rainy areas of the UK.

Cold roofs are not really "cold". In cold roofing, as can be seen in the photos, insulation is laid between joists with space left for ventilation, which allows moist air to escape rather than forming condensation and…
