Flat Roofing Systems We Install

We install a range of flat roofing systems, including:

EPDM Rubberbond Flat Roofing

EPDM Rubberbond represents the pinnacle of flat roofing technology, offering exceptional durability with a life expectancy exceeding 50 years. This synthetic rubber membrane provides outstanding resistance to UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and adverse weather conditions. At Haines Roofing, we're approved EPDM RESITRIX contractors, ensuring precise installation that maximises the system's performance.

Fibreglass Flat Roofing

Fibreglass (GRP) roofing systems offer exceptional structural integrity and versatility. This seamless solution creates a completely watertight barrier and is particularly suitable for roof terraces and walkways due to its superior impact resistance. The system comprises multiple layers, including reinforced glass fibres and robust resins, resulting in a roof that maintains its structural integrity for decades.

Felt Flat Roofing

Modern felt roofing has evolved significantly from its traditional counterparts. Today's high-performance systems incorporate modified bitumen and polyester carriers, delivering enhanced durability and resistance to environmental stresses. These systems typically feature three layers: a vapour control layer, reinforced felt, and a cap sheet with UV-resistant minerals.


Maintenance and Repair

Regular maintenance is crucial for maximising your flat roof's lifespan. Key warning signs requiring immediate attention include:

  • Standing water or poor drainage
  • Visible seam separation
  • Interior water staining
  • Membrane blistering or bubbling

We recommend regular professional inspections to identify and address potential issues before they escalate. Our maintenance service includes thorough cleaning of drainage systems, seam inspection, and assessment of flashings and upstands.


Benefits of Flat Roofing

The benefits of choosing a flat roofing system include:

  • Cost-Effective: Lower material and labour costs compared to pitched roofs
  • Versatility: Ideal for solar panel installation and green roof systems
