Key Information
What is a Flat Roof?
A flat roof typically has a pitch of 10 degrees or less, making it significantly shallower than a traditional tiled roof. This design offers excellent versatility, making it ideal for extensions, garages, and commercial buildings. One of the key advantages of a flat roof is its ability to accommodate projects where height restrictions are a concern, such as keeping the roofline below first-floor window sills. Flat roofs are generally categorised into warm roofs and cold roofs, depending on the placement of insulation within the structure.
EPDM Rubber Flat Roof
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber has gained popularity due to its exceptional flexibility and resilience. After extensive testing, EPDM rubber is expected to last up to 50 years. This rubber membrane can be customised to fit the roof’s dimensions, reducing potential weak points. The installation involves applying a water-based deck adhesive to the timber deck, followed by a high-strength solvent-based bonding adhesive to secure edges and up stands. EPDM is a low-maintenance, long-lasting option for flat roofing.

Warm Roof vs Cold Roof: What's the Difference?
Warm Roof
A warm roof features solid insulation sheets positioned directly beneath the roofing system, keeping the entire structure at a similar temperature to the interior. This design significantly reduces the risk of thermal bridging, as the insulation is placed over the timber deck rather than between rafters, creating a continuous layer of insulation. Additionally, keeping the space between the ceiling and roof structure empty improves ventilation and minimises condensation or moisture buildup.
Cold Roof
A cold roof has insulation placed directly above or between the ceiling joists, meaning the rafters and any space above them remain colder than the interior below. One of the main benefits of this system is that it maintains the original roof height, allowing for a more streamlined appearance with smaller fascia boards.

Bitumen Felt Roofing
Bitumen felt has been a trusted flat roofing solution for decades due to its durability and versatility. The most common method is the three-layer torch-on system, which consists of a venting base layer, an underlay waterproofing felt, and a UV-resistant mineral cap sheet. This system is installed using a heat torch that melts the bitumen, fusing the layers to create a watertight seal. Reinforced with polyester or fibreglass, bitumen felt roofs can last up to 20 years or more.

EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber is a flexible and highly resilient synthetic rubber roofing material. Known for its exceptional longevity, EPDM can last up to 50 years with proper installation. The rubber membrane is custom-cut to fit the roof dimensions, reducing the number of seams and potential weak points. Installation involves applying water-based adhesives to the main deck and solvent-based bonding adhesives for edges and upstands, ensuring a strong, secure finish.

GRP Fibreglass Roofing
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) roofing is a durable and seamless system made from polyester resin reinforced with fibreglass matting. This system includes GRP edge trims, resin layers, and a fibreglass topcoat, resulting in an exceptionally strong and watertight finish. Due to its liquid application, GRP roofing is ideal for complex roof designs, as it can seamlessly seal awkward areas where other systems may struggle.
