Flat Roofing
Flat roofs are now a hugely popular solution for roofs due to the lower costs compared to a traditional pitched roof. Historically, flat roofing was only recommended in areas with lower rainfall, but due to enhancements in drainage systems, and the lower cost compared to traditional pitched roofs, their usage is becoming increasingly popular. We offer our flat roof installation in 3 different colours to compliment your home, garage, or any commercial building that needs a cost effective, durable solution.
The first step towards a new flat roof installation is when you call us for a free, no obligation roof inspection. We will conduct a thorough survey and suggest the best possible materials to protect your home. We will advise on the preparation techniques that need to be carried out and the access equipment that will need to be used. We will also advise on any supplementary products like gutters and downpipes that would also be installed. Along with our quotation we will give you a timeframe of completion, not just for the roof installation but also taking into account the clean up afterwards to leave your home in a more beautiful state that it was before.
The final decision to proceed with your new flat roof installation rests entirely with you. Our knowledgeable staff will be available to answer your questions or address any concerns you may have.
GRP Fibreglass
We are approved GRP Fibre Glass installers. GRP Fibre Glass is a single-ply flat roof system which is a high performance synthetic membrane suitable for garages, extensions and small buildings. It is adhered using bonding adhesives and there are no hot works involved - making it ideal to use where heat cannot.
Unlike felt roofing our fibreglass flat roofing solutions do not rely on bitumen and other materials to bond and join them, which can increase the life span of your flat roof.
Fibreglass roofing provides great flexibility whilst also being cost effective. A composite material made from reinforced polyester resin that forms a tough, versatile, long lasting layer which can be applied to existing flat roofs, garages and new building projects.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM rubber is often used in the automotive industry for weather-stripping, seals and hoses.
EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer) is renowned for its strength and durability. It also offers excellent thermal insulation and water resistance. This is a stable compound with no accompanying odour or fumes sometimes found in rubbers.
The material consists of the main compounds ethylene and propylene. A flexible rubber matrix is formed when a small amount of diene is added to the mix. EPDM is available as a reinforced mix or an un-reinforced mix.
Rubber roofing is growing in popularity due to its excellent durability and flexibility, making it easy to shape to almost any surface.
Felt Roofing
Felt flat roofing is the traditional material used for flat roofs. It is made from bitumen that has been mixed with sand or limestone, and is often heated with a torch whilst being installed. Although felt does not come with such a long warranty it does still last for many years and is an affordable option compared to other materials.
You may have seen roofing felt on garden sheds and small buildings, but it is also suitable as a budget-friendly option for extensions and roof terraces.
Felt roofs have an average life of 10-15 years - at Arkiton Roofing, our installers are competent in installing replacement traditional felt roofing. Our felt roofing system comes with a 10 year guarantee and is only installed by our qualified local roofing contractors.
