At Highworth Flat Roofing, we work with a variety of materials and systems to suit your property, budget, and lifestyle. Here’s a guide to the most common types of flat roofs we install and maintain.
Felt roofing is a traditional and cost-effective option, made from layers of bitumen reinforced with a base material to create a waterproof barrier. Felt roofs are affordable, reliable, and suitable for most residential extensions and garages, while also being relatively easy to repair and maintain. They are an ideal solution for homeowners who want a tried-and-tested flat roof that delivers protection and longevity without breaking the bank.
EPDM, or ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a durable synthetic rubber material known for its flexibility and strength. This type of roof is extremely long-lasting, often exceeding 30 years, and is highly resistant to extreme weather, UV rays, and ponding water. EPDM roofs are quick and easy to install, making them perfect for homeowners who want a low-maintenance, eco-friendly, and durable roofing option.
GRP, or Glass Reinforced Plastic roofing, provides a seamless and completely waterproof surface that is both strong and lightweight. GRP roofs are long-lasting and require minimal maintenance, making them an excellent choice for flat roof extensions, garages, and porches. Homeowners who want a modern, sleek finish with durable protection often choose GRP for its reliability and ease of upkeep.
Liquid rubber roofing is a modern, highly effective solution for protecting flat roofs from leaks and Chippenham’s unpredictable weather. With heavy rain, cold winters and the occasional heatwave all common in Wiltshire, having a waterproof system that can cope with changing conditions is essential. Liquid rubber is applied as a smooth, continuous coating that forms a seamless membrane across the entire roof surface, making it ideal for the varied roof shapes often found on Chippenham homes, garages, extensions and commercial units.
One of it's main advantages is that its flexible and durable, expanding and contracting with temperature changes to help prevent cracks and splits. It’s fully weatherproof, UV-resistant and built to handle Chippenham’s climate with very little upkeep. Installation is quick too, and it can often be applied over an existing roof, keeping disruption and costs low.
For Chippenham homeowners and businesses wanting a reliable, low-maintenance roofing solution with excellent leak protection, liquid rubber roofing is a smart long-term option. If you’d like to know whether it’s suitable for your property, get in touch with us today - we’re happy to advise.
