Single Ply Roofing has been in use in the UK for over 40 years now. It is a single layer PVC based roofing product, which comes on pre-fabricated rolls, allowing for fast installation and lower labour costs.
Single ply is installed in a flame free application, making it safe to use in multiple applications.
Single ply is ideal for a roof that will be subject to minimum foot traffic after installation.
Reinforced Bitumen Membranes have been in use in the UK for as long as there have been flat roofs. This does not mean that they are not innovative though, these highly flexible roofs are now available in many different colours.

These roofs can be installed in various roof areas and can have green roofs installed over the top to give an aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly roofs.
Cold Applied Liquid Roofing is the most recent offering to the UK roofing market but has already established itself as an efficient product. One of the most cost-effective ways to waterproof your roof is to use liquid waterproofing systems. Liquid is a cold-applied technique that cures into a flexible, seamless waterproof covering that conforms to the curve of the roof. Liquid can be used on new builds and refurbishments of roofs and is applied in stages: a basecoat is applied to the surface, followed by a reinforcing layer, and then a final liquid coat to create a totally waterproof system. The products ability to be formed around tricky onsite details means this product has become a favourite in the refurbishment roofing sector. This roofing can come in a variety of colours which can make it an eye catching offering.
Hot Melt Roofing was developed in the harshness of the Canadian weather. This system takes rubberised bitumen blocks that are melted down in a boiler and installed directly to roof area, which is usually a concrete substrate. Insulation, paving, and ballast can then be installed over the top. This allows the roof to last the life of the building as no UV rays can get to the roofing. Hot Melt roofing is very popular with our commercial clients as a robust solution for works to high rise developments.
