A flat roof is a roof which is almost level in contrast to the various types of sloped roofs. The slope of a roof is appropriately known as its pitch and flat roofs have up to roughly 10°.
Types of Flat Roofing We Offer:
Warm Roof Systems (Insulation under the membrane, directly to deck).
Cold Roof Systems (No Insulation, membrane directly to deck).
Inverted Roof Systems (Waterproofing directly to deck, insulated directly on to waterproofing).
Waterproofing methods we Offer:
Single Ply Roofing (Including metal imitation standing seam).
Hotmelt Roofing.
Built Up Felt Systems.
GRP/Fiberglass Systems.
Cold Applied Liquid Systems.
Cold Melt Systems.
Pitched Roofing
A pitched roof is a roof that slopes downwards, classically in two parts at an angle from a central ridge, but occasionally in one part, from one edge to another. The ‘pitch’ of a roof is its upright rise separated by its horizontal span and is a measure of its steepness.
Types of pitched roofing we offer:
– Slate & Tile Roofing.

Green roof/blue roof/brown roof
A green roof or living roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane.
Types of green roofs:

Blue Roof
A blue roof is a roof of a building that is designed explicitly to provide initial temporary water storage and then gradual release of stored water, typically rainfall.
