Cold-Applied Liquid Systems
Cold-applied liquid systems provide seamless waterproofing for flat roofs, balconies, terraces and external walkways on multi-unit residential and commercial buildings.
Because no heat is used, they are particularly suited to occupied buildings and sites where fire risk must be carefully managed. We install high-performance PU and PMMA systems reinforced for strength, durability and long-term compliance.
Commonly specified for refurbishment and overlay projects, liquid systems accommodate complex detailing and irregular substrates while minimising disruption during installation.

Built-Up Felt Roofing Systems
Built-up felt remains a proven solution for large-scale flat roof refurbishment and replacement projects across housing portfolios, industrial estates and public sector buildings.
Available in torch-applied and self-adhesive variants, modern multi-layer systems provide robust, layered waterproofing with predictable performance and clear lifecycle planning. Felt systems are frequently specified where budget control, phased delivery and long-term durability are key project drivers.

Safe-to-Torch Compliant Roofing

How long does a flat roof last?
A professionally installed flat roof can last between 25 and 40 years. The exact lifespan depends on the material used - such as felt, single-ply membranes, or cold-applied liquid systems - as well as how well the roof is maintained over time. With regular upkeep, many flat roofs perform reliably for decades
What is the best material for a flat roof?
The best material for a flat roof will depend on your property and budget. Common options include felt, EPDM rubber, single-ply PVC, and cold-applied liquid systems. Each option provides strong waterproofing and durability, while liquid systems are especially useful for complex detailing or irregular roof shapes.
Do flat roofs always leak?
No - modern flat roofs are designed to be completely watertight. Problems usually happen because of poor installation or a lack of regular maintenance. When fitted by a professional, a flat roof will resist leaks and drainage issues for decades.
Can flat roofs be insulated?
Yes, flat roofs can be insulated. This can be done with warm roof or cold roof methods. As a result, your property becomes more energy-efficient, with lower heating costs and better condensation control.
Do I need planning permission for a new flat roof?
Most flat roof repairs and replacements are classed as permitted development, so planning permission is not usually required. However, if you plan to change the roof height, alter the design, or carry out work on a listed building, you may need consent from your local authority.
