It doesn't matter if you're using a bitumin built up felt roofing system, a modern single ply Membrane or a traditional lead roof, if they are poorly fitted your flat roof will live up to it's old name and let you down, sometimes damaging your property or prized possessions along the way. The preparation work is the key to achieve a great flat roof that lasts and this begins with choosing the best materials for the job. Roofs don't work as one size fits all service.

As well as being pleasing on the eye, green roofs help to promote better air quality and provide new habitats for local wildlife.
