GRP Fibreglass Roofing
GRP, or glass reinforced plastic, has become one of the most widely used flat roofing systems for domestic properties over the past two decades. It is applied as a liquid resin over a fibreglass matting, which is then finished with a topcoat. The result is a seamless, rigid surface that is highly resistant to water, impact and UV degradation.
GRP roofing carries a long lifespan, typically in excess of 25 years when installed correctly, and requires very little maintenance once laid. It is well suited to extension roofs, dormer roofs, garage roofs and balconies.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane that is laid over the roof deck in large sheets, bonded down with adhesive. Because it is supplied in wide rolls, it can often cover a roof with few or no seams, which reduces the risk of water ingress at joints.
EPDM is flexible, durable and handles temperature extremes well, making it a reliable long-term option. It is particularly popular on larger flat roof areas where a seamless finish is more difficult to achieve with other systems.
Torch On Felt
Torch-on felt, also known as modified bitumen sheeting, is a step up from traditional three-layer felt. The sheets are reinforced with polyester or fibreglass matting and are applied using a gas torch, which bonds each layer firmly to the one below.
The result is a more robust, durable finish than standard felt, with greater resistance to splitting and weathering. It is a widely used system for both domestic and commercial flat roofs and offers a good balance between cost and performance.
Liquid Applied Roofing
Liquid roofing systems involve applying a liquid waterproofing coating directly onto the roof surface, which then cures to form a seamless membrane. These systems are particularly useful where a roof has complex detailing, penetrations or upstands that would be difficult to cover neatly with a sheet membrane.
Liquid-applied coatings can also be used to extend the life of an existing roof surface, depending on the substrate’s condition. There are several products available in this category, and suitability depends on the specific roof.
