OUR EXPERTISE
Modern Flat Roofing Solutions
Flat roofing technology has advanced significantly, offering reliable alternatives to problematic traditional systems. Modern materials provide superior performance, extended lifespans, and reduced maintenance requirements. We’re confident that today’s flat roofing options solve historical problems associated with low-pitch roofs.
Proper installation remains critical for flat roof performance. Minor errors cause ponding, premature failure, and expensive water damage. Our experienced teams understand the importance of accurate falls, robust detailing, and quality workmanship. Every installation follows manufacturer specifications precisely, maintaining warranties whilst maximising longevity.
Norfolk properties feature flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers, and commercial buildings. Each application presents unique challenges, from restricted access to integration with existing structures. Premier Home Improvements adapts installation methods to suit specific requirements, delivering optimal results regardless of complexity.
QUALITY MATERIALS
EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) represents the premium flat roofing solution for many applications. This synthetic rubber membrane offers exceptional durability, flexibility, and weather resistance. Single-piece installation eliminates joints, removing the primary failure point in traditional flat roofing systems.
Installation begins with thorough deck preparation. Existing coverings require complete removal, followed by deck repairs and installation of appropriate insulation. The EPDM membrane bonds to the prepared deck using specialist adhesives, creating a monolithic waterproof barrier. In our experience, proper preparation determines installation success.
Edge details and upstands demand particular attention. Purpose-made trims and flashings secure membrane edges whilst maintaining neat appearance. Careful detailing around penetrations prevents water ingress at vulnerable points. We think EPDM’s fifty-year life expectancy justifies meticulous installation procedures.
Benefits of EPDM Systems
Rubber roofing offers numerous advantages over traditional materials. Extreme temperature tolerance prevents cracking or softening, whilst UV resistance maintains flexibility throughout decades of exposure. The membrane’s elasticity accommodates building movement without splitting.
Minimal maintenance requirements reduce whole-life costs significantly. Annual inspections and occasional cleaning represent total maintenance needs for properly installed EPDM roofs. This low-maintenance characteristic particularly suits difficult access locations or busy commercial properties.
Torch-On Felt Systems
Modified bitumen torch-on felt remains popular for flat roofing applications, offering proven performance at competitive prices. Modern high-performance felts incorporate polyester reinforcement and modified bitumen compounds, delivering superior durability compared to traditional materials.
Professional installation requires specialist equipment and expertise. Our certified installers use controlled torching techniques, achieving optimal adhesion without damaging substrates. Multiple layer systems provide redundancy, with each layer contributing to overall performance.
Cap sheets incorporate mineral finishes providing UV protection and extended lifespan. Various colours allow aesthetic choices whilst maintaining functionality. We believe torch-on felt represents excellent value for many flat roofing projects, balancing performance with affordability.
Multi-Layer Protection
Built-up felt roofing systems typically comprise three layers: vapour barrier, underlay, and cap sheet. Each layer serves specific functions, creating comprehensive weather protection. Correct specification ensures compatibility between layers whilst addressing specific project requirements.
Detailing quality distinguishes professional felt roofing installation. Upstands require minimum heights and proper termination, whilst outlets need reinforcement and careful integration. Our attention to these details prevents common failure modes, extending system lifespan significantly.
HOW IT WORKS
The Installation Process
Professional roof installation follows established procedures that protect your property throughout the project. Premier Home Improvements maintains strict site management protocols, minimising disruption whilst maintaining safety standards.
Preparation begins with scaffold erection and protective coverings for your property. Our teams carefully remove existing roofing materials, inspecting the underlying structure for any issues requiring attention. Rotten timbers, inadequate ventilation, or structural weaknesses receive immediate attention before new roof installation proceeds.
Installing roof felt or modern breathable membranes provides the critical waterproof barrier beneath your chosen covering. We’re certain that using quality underlays significantly enhances your roof’s weather resistance and longevity. Batten installation follows precise spacing requirements, creating the framework for your new tiles or slates.
Material installation requires skill and attention to detail. Each tile or slate must be correctly positioned and secured, maintaining consistent lines and proper overlaps. Our experienced roofers work methodically, checking alignment and fixing quality throughout installation. Ridge tiles, hip tiles, and valley details receive particular attention, as these areas often prove most vulnerable to weather penetration.
Complex Roof Designs
Fibreglass excels on complex roof shapes where prefabricated materials prove difficult. The liquid application process accommodates any configuration, creating seamless coverage around features and penetrations. This adaptability makes GRP ideal for balconies, walkways, and intricate roof designs.
Fire-resistant properties enhance safety, particularly important for attached buildings. The cured surface resists chemical damage and remains stable across temperature extremes. These characteristics justify fibreglass selection for demanding applications.
Fibreglass Roofing (GRP)
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) provides seamless, durable flat roofing with exceptional strength. Commonly known as fibreglass roofing, this system creates a completely jointless membrane tailored to any roof shape. The resulting surface withstands foot traffic whilst maintaining complete weatherproofing.
Installation involves applying liquid resin over glass fibre matting, building up layers to achieve required thickness. The resin cures to form a rigid, impermeable surface bonded permanently to the roof deck. Skilled application ensures consistent thickness and proper reinforcement throughout.
Topcoats provide UV protection and chosen aesthetics. Various colours complement different property styles, whilst anti-slip finishes improve safety for maintenance access. In our judgment, fibreglass roofing offers unmatched durability for appropriate applications.

Flat Roof Repair Services
Existing flat roofs often require repair rather than replacement. Premier Home Improvements provides comprehensive repair services, addressing leaks, damage, and deterioration across all flat roofing types. Accurate diagnosis ensures appropriate repairs that extend roof lifespan cost-effectively.
Emergency repairs receive priority response, preventing ongoing water damage. Temporary repairs stabilise situations whilst permanent solutions are implemented. Our repair teams carry materials for common problems, enabling immediate response to urgent situations.
Planned maintenance programmes prevent minor issues escalating. Regular inspections identify developing problems before they cause leaks. We’re certain that preventative maintenance doubles flat roof lifespans whilst reducing overall costs.
Insulation and Energy Efficiency
Modern building regulations demand excellent thermal performance from flat roofs. Upgrading insulation during roof replacement significantly reduces energy costs whilst improving internal comfort. Various insulation types suit different applications and budgets.
Warm roof construction places insulation above the deck, maintaining consistent temperatures and preventing condensation. Cold roof designs require careful ventilation to avoid moisture problems. Our technical knowledge ensures appropriate specifications for each project.
Tapered insulation systems create proper drainage falls on previously problematic flat roofs. These engineered systems eliminate ponding whilst improving thermal performance. Investment in quality insulation provides ongoing returns through reduced heating costs.
