Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of single-ply roofing?

Installing single ply roofs are relatively fast and less disruptive than many other roofing options. Overall single-ply membrane roofing is lightweight compared to other flat roof systems. Single ply membranes are specifically engineered to provide a watertight covering, effectively safeguarding the underlying structure from water infiltration, leaks and internal damage. Great options to combine with roof insulation.

How long does a single ply / liquid roof last?

Average lifespan of single ply / liquid roofs are 15 – 25 years, depending on the brand and workmanship.

What type of single ply system do you use?

We primarily work with Alwitra system. This membrane offers a quick, simple and economical installation with benefits such as smooth surface that allows moisture to escape from the roof across the entire membrane surface, resistance to UV radiation damage and a fire load five times lower than a built-up felt roof.

What is the difference between single ply and liquid roofing?

A single ply roof involves a single sheet of roofing material that is weatherproof and UV resistant. Usually installed using mechanical fixings or full adhesive, creating a fully protective roofing system. Liquid roofing is a modern, seamless waterproofing system applied as a liquid coating that forms a flexible, rubber-like membrane on your roof. Both can be combined with skylight systems.

Are flat roofs good for homes?

These are great and popular choice for residential homes, extensions and even commercial buildings. Whether a flat roof is the right choice depends on your climate, budget, design goals, and how you plan to use the space. Often combined with roof insulation for greater benefits.

How do you maintain a flat roof?

Regular inspections and cleaning is highly recommended for flat roofs. It helps to identify cracks or splits in the membrane, loose flashing around vents, skylights, and edges. Leaves, branches, and trash can clog drains and cause water to pool.
