Safe, cold-applied systems with high fire ratings.

UV Stable

Won't rot or crack even in extreme sun exposure.

Walkable Surfaces

Tough enough for balconies and roof terraces.

Our Process

HOW IT WORKS.

From your first call to the signed-off finish, here's exactly what to expect.

01

Survey & Measurement

We assess the existing surface, check the structural deck, and measure the falls and drainage points.

02

System Recommendation

We recommend GRP or EPDM based on your roof area, intended use, access requirements, and budget.

03

Strip & Deck Preparation

Old felt or existing surface is removed and the plywood deck is inspected and replaced where necessary before any new membrane goes down.

04

Membrane Installation

The chosen system is laid and fully bonded, with all upstands, drains, edges, and trims finished to the manufacturer's specification.

05

Testing & Sign-Off

Drainage is flow-tested, the product warranty is registered in your name, and our workmanship guarantee is issued.

Technical Standards

Our EPDM systems are applied in single sheets, eliminating joints entirely. Our GRP systems are hand-laid by certified installers to ensure a rock-solid, waterproof laminate.

  • BS 5534 Compliant
  • Health & Safety Registered
  • Full PPE & Safety Equipment
  • Daily Site Cleanups

Written Guarantee

GRP (fibreglass) systems typically last 25–30+ years. EPDM rubber systems last 20–25+ years. Both significantly outperform old felt, which has a typical lifespan of 10–15 years.

GRP is harder, more rigid, and seamless, ideal for high-traffic areas like walkable terraces. EPDM is more flexible, better for larger areas and irregular shapes, and typically more cost-effective.

Not when installed correctly with proper drainage falls and upstands. Leaks on flat roofs almost always result from poor installation, failed joins, or years of neglect to an ageing felt system.

Occasionally, but we generally recommend stripping back to the deck first to inspect for rot, moisture, or structural issues. Overlaying can trap damp and cause problems later.

Yes, GRP fibreglass is ideal for low-traffic terraces and balconies. We can also install non-slip finishes and integrated drainage for a fully weatherproof outdoor space.

GRP fibreglass systems carry a 20+ year product warranty registered in your name. We also provide a written workmanship guarantee covering the installation itself.
