To construct a pitched roof on every extension, outbuilding, garage or similar structure is simply neither cost-effective nor feasible in regards to design. In these situations, flat roofing can save the day, providing an alternative to pitched roofing that will keep your space warm, dry and damp-free as the seasons change. DJM Roofing Eastbourne Ltd., a team of veteran roofers covering all areas surrounding Eastbourne, Hailsham, Polegate and Newhaven, are flat roofing specialists who design and install everything from EPDM, to GRP and felt systems. It’s these which we’ve looked to detail on the page below.
There’s a reason we refer to these flat roofing systems as EPDM, and not by their full name of Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer! Unlike their unabbreviated name, these systems are simple, and both quick and safe to install. Built from synthetic rubber, EPDM flat roofing is simply glued onto a prepared roof decking, before being finished with a perimeter adhesive and trim around the edges, ensuring the finished product is 100% waterproof.
Our roofers recommend this to clients around Eastbourne, Hailsham, Polegate and Newhaven looking for something tough and versatile. Its lightweight, elastic qualities make it effective in dealing with expansion and contraction, which can sometimes be a concern with larger flat roofing systems. With lifespans of up to 50 years when well cared for, these provide exceptional value for money when installed by the right team – like the roofers at DJM Roofing Eastbourne Ltd.
Standing for Glass Reinforced Plastic, this flat roofing system is comprised of GRP laminate, liquid resin and a reinforcement mat, the latter adding further structural integrity. This flat roofing is ideal for complexly shaped roofs and boasts all the right characteristics; they’re durable, waterproof, low maintenance, cost-effective, and will be up and running nice and quickly due to speed of installation.
Some other reasons our roofers will so often recommend GRP for projects around Eastbourne, Hailsham, Polegate and Newhaven, include the fact it’s so resistant to harsh weather and UV radiation, in addition to its cost-efficiency; it won’t set you back as much as new tile or slate roofing, helping you keep margins in check.
Perhaps the first thing we conjure up when thinking of flat roofing, felt systems are built from layers of roofing felt and bitumen. By applying at least three layers, this delivers a waterproof finish that can still enjoy a long lifespan when well-cared for – despite being a “budget” option when compared with EPDM and GRP.
Its application sees our roofers roll on felt and “torch” it to create a hardy bond that’s up to the challenge of surviving exposure to the winds, rain and extreme weather conditions which are increasingly felt in and around Eastbourne, Hailsham, Polegate and Newhaven.
