Single-ply roofing

What is single-ply roofing?

A flexible waterproof membrane laid as a single layer over a flat or low-pitch roof, with seams welded or bonded to form a continuous covering.

Is it suitable for my roof?

It suits most flat and low-pitch roofs on homes and commercial buildings. We'll confirm after inspecting the deck and details.

How do I know if my flat roof needs replacing?

Repeated leaks, ponding, blistering, splits or a soft deck are common signs. Sometimes a repair is enough — we'll tell you honestly.

Do you work with natural slate as well as tiles?

Yes. We install and repair pitched roofs in clay or concrete tiles and natural slate.

Can a green roof go on any flat roof?

The structure must be able to carry the extra weight, and the waterproofing beneath must be suitable. We assess both first.

Do you need to visit before quoting?

For most jobs, yes. Photos help us give early advice, but a visit lets us price accurately.

How long will the work take?

It depends on the size of the roof, the system and the weather. We'll give you an expected timescale with your quotation.

Does my roof need maintenance?

Clearing outlets and gutters and checking seams and flashings periodically helps catch small problems early.

What's the best way to get in touch?

Call, WhatsApp or use the quote form. You can attach photos of your roof with the form.
