Roof-Craft Flat Roofing
Why Choose Flat Roofs?
Flat roofs are common on outbuildings such as garages or extensions – typically on low buildings. Though they are called “flat” roofs, the term refers to any roof with a pitch of 10 degrees or less. No flat roof should ever be completely flat but should have a slight drop to allow for water runoff. Without this, water will pool on the roof and cause damage such as leaking and sagging, damaging your roof over time!
That’s why it’s vital to have your flat roof fitted and maintained by a professional roofer who has the skills to ensure your flat roof is correctly fitted. We’ve been fitting flat roofs in South Ribble and the wider Lancashire area for over 30 years, so you can be sure you’re getting quality work by an experienced professional.
Flat roofs can be fitted in a range of materials.
Felt Roofing
Made with bitumen (tar) and natural or synthetic fibres, felt is a popular material choice for flat roofs as it is lightweight and cheap. It’s easy and quick to install and widely available. Felt itself is not very thermally efficient, and felt roofs require separate insulation, making them not very well suited to extensions or areas of the home that may have people in them often, but it can be an excellent option for areas of the home you may not use as regularly such as garages.
EDPM Rubber Roofing
A type of synthetic rubber material, EDPM roofing is extremely durable and weatherproof. Made from a thin membrane and applied in sheets, when properly installed, EDPM roofs can last up to 50 years. We recommend EDPM roofs as they are very strong and low maintenance – in fact, they’re one of the most popular flat roofing materials we provide. Our team fit EDPM rubber roofs regularly and are experts at creating EDPM roofs that are built to last.
Liquid Rubber Roofing
Applied in layers using hot liquid rubber, this roofing type creates a completely seamless finish that is exceptionally good for fitting irregularly shaped flat roofs. We recommend liquid rubber where EDPM may not be suitable, or a seamless finish is required. We install liquid rubber roofs regularly and our expert team will make sure your liquid rubber roof installation goes smoothly.
