Flat roof refurbishment in the UK
Flat roof refurbishment in the UK
Flat roof refurbishment in the UK demands careful specification and planning, particularly given the climate and wide range of existing construction types - from traditional felt and asphalt to ageing single-ply systems.
Whether it’s a domestic extension, a commercial property or a heritage-listed building, flat roof upgrades must consider drainage, insulation, and vapour control. Modern solutions include high-performance bituminous membranes, liquid-applied systems, EPDM, and PVC, each offering different benefits in terms of durability, cost and maintenance. Challenges often arise with hidden defects, poor detailing around upstands or outlets, and outdated insulation values. Getting the detailing and substrate preparation right is critical - not just for achieving a watertight seal, but also to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the whole roofing build-up. Flat roof refurbishments done properly can dramatically extend the life of a building envelope while improving thermal performance and reducing ongoing maintenance.
We work with all leading flat roof product manufacturers in the UK to ensure that our clients flat roof refurbishments are carried out diligently by approved contractors, to a fixed specification which meets both British standards, and the manufacturers specific guarantee criteria.
