Green Roof Systems

Creates a natural habitat for flora and fauna

Aids biodiversity encouraging a wider spread of species in the area

Soft landscaping helps to reduce the risk of flooding by retaining large proportions of annual rainfall and reducing rainwater run-off. Particularly useful within Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDs) schemes

Environmental masking blends the building into its surroundings

Improved air quality as vegetation assists in reducing both gaseous pollutants and dust particles

Reduces urban heat island effect (the difference in temperature between urban areas and the surrounding countryside) through absorption of some of this heat and the natural evaporation of water from plants and soil

Reduces building’s carbon footprint through lowering building running costs

Reduced construction costs: no requirement for screed on the deck reducing the overall weight imposed, fewer rainwater outlets, decreased rainwater drainage system capacity and a reduced requirement for storm water attenuation within the SUDs scheme for the site

Increased life expectancy of waterproofing membranes when protected by green roof landscaping

Many local authorities favour planning proposals that incorporate green roofs within the application, particularly if it meets their policies towards providing a sustainable environment

Increased property value – roof usage can be maximised for purposes including leisure, and offers unique potential for replacing the land lost to the building’s footprint

Noise reduction for the building – green roofs have excellent acoustic qualities for both external sound (up to 3dB) and internal noise up to 8dB)

Single Ply Systems

What is Single Ply Roofing Membrane?

Single ply is a flat, synthetic polymer based roofing material that, as the name suggests, provides a waterproofing layer in a single sheet. Usually supplied in rolls, the material is either entirely homogeneous or contains a reinforcement layer. Sealed at the joints with heat, adhesive or mechanical means, it can be adhered, mechanically fixed and/or ballasted into flat, pitched or green roof systems.

Single ply roofs are lightweight, flexible, cost effective, swift to install and safe, which makes them increasingly popular for both new build and refurbishment projects.

Bituminous Systems

Excellent resistance and superior service life, high-performance waterproofing solutions for flat roofs also include bituminous waterproofing accessories and capsheets.
Warm, cold, single layer and inverted roof bituminous waterproofing systems are available.
We provide a solution for all types of flat roof constructions, whether your project is a new build or refurbishment.
Bitumen roofing systems are BBA certified, impact and tear-resistant, and they are guaranteed to provide a robust and watertight solution.
Flame-free waterproofing options are also available for sites where hot works are restricted.

Liquid Waterproofing

Liquid waterproofing systems provide one of the most cost effective methods for making a new or existing roof waterproof. Correctly installed and maintained they can provide a long term life often in excess of 25 years. Liquid applied waterproofing is seamless and fully bonds to the substrate, so is ideal for use over existing roofing, including single ply membranes, profiled metal or fibre cement. Cold applied liquid waterproofing is also suitable for new projects, particularly those with complex detailing, upstands, edge details, penetrations and terminations. For example on a roof with a lot of roof-mounted plant, or on balconies where a single ply solution would be difficult to detail neatly, liquid waterproofing makes the job that much easier.
