Flat Roofing Materials Explained

When we install a roof, we source materials that are durable, weather-resistant, and compliant with industry standards, so you won’t need frequent roof repairs in the near future.

The materials our roofing contractors use for flat roof installations and re-roofing are:

EPDM Roofs

EPDM can be a good choice for homeowners looking for a flexible, durable flat roofing membrane with a long service life. Its resistance to UV rays, rain and temperature changes makes it well suited to exposed roofs, while its flexibility allows it to accommodate some movement without cracking.

TPO Roofs

TPO can be a good option where homeowners want a lightweight membrane with strong resistance to weathering and UV exposure. Its flexibility and heat-welded seams help create a watertight finish, making it suitable for properties where reliable waterproofing is a priority.

PVC Roofs

PVC roofing may suit homeowners looking for a durable, lightweight, low-maintenance option. It offers strong resistance to water, UV exposure and weathering, while heat-welded seams provide a secure watertight barrier. PVC can also be useful where puncture and chemical resistance is important.

Modified Bitumen Roofs

Modified bitumen can be a good choice for homeowners looking for a robust, hard-wearing roofing system. Its polymer additives improve the flexibility of traditional bitumen, helping it cope with temperature changes while providing strong waterproofing. It can be particularly useful where durability and a tough surface are priorities.

Choosing the right material ultimately depends on factors such as the property's structure, roof size, weather exposure, existing roofing system and budget. Our roofing company provides free initial assessments, quotes and advice to help you choose a suitable option for your home in Tunbridge Wells, whether you need a new roof for an extension or re-roofing.
