Flat Roofs Repair & Installation
Expert Flat Roofing Repair: Restoring Durability and Protection
Flat roofs have become increasingly popular in the UK over the last decade. Flat roofs are the perfect roof type for ground floor house extensions, garages, sheds, outhouses and other types of small-sized buildings.
You might be thinking, however, isn’t a flat roof in Britain a recipe for disaster?
With the high annual rainfall in Scotland and the rest of the UK, you would be forgiven for thinking that flat roofs only lead to leaks, breakages and issues.
With flat roofs from Ericht Roofing, however, customers needn’t worry about any of the above!

Why single-ply roofing?
Created from resilient and flexible membranes, single-ply roofing is a complete and durable solution for keeping heat inside your property and leaving wind and rain out.
There are different types of system to consider:
1. Warm deck
A single-ply membrane is laid over a base layer of thermal insulation, which sits on top of a vapour control layer (VCL). This helps keep the roof decking warm during cold weather, reduces condensation and prevents any water vapour entering the insulation.
2. Cold deck
This traditional and cost-effective flat-roof design involves placing a waterproof membrane directly onto the decking. Insulation is laid below the deck.
Why choose to have a flat roof installed?
Flat roofs are a great option for smaller sized buildings, home extensions and garages.
The main advantages of choosing a flat roof are:
Versatility
Due to the flat nature of flat roofs, there are ample opportunities for utilising the space they provide.
It’s not uncommon to find roof gardens, solar panels or social spaces added to a flat roof, allowing domestic and commercial property owners to make the most of the space on offer.
Energy efficient
With a flat roof you could actually save on your energy bills. By using thermal efficient roofing materials home owners could help trap heat in their homes, saving them money in the long-term!
Long-lasting & weather resistant
By using high-grade roofing materials, a flat roof enjoys great protection from the elements. Not only is it less impacted by wind, but through efficient design and waterproof material, a flat roof will drain water effectively and avoid any leaks, breakages or other issues.
In addition, flat roofs have a long lifespan of 30-50 years, and through hot-air welding at the seams, we make sure your roof is puncture- and tear-resistant!
Safety
That same hot-air-welding process also replaces traditional installation methods like torching, which results in a much safer, flame-free installation.
Cost-effective
Despite their many benefits and attractive style, flat roofs are a very budget friendly option when it comes to roofing styles.
Installation is fast and materials are cheaper than traditional roof tiles, both of which help cut down maintenance costs. In addition, repair work is far easier on a flat roof due to the ease of access flat roofs provide, meaning if anything does go wrong with your roof, you’ll be looking at a far smaller repair bill than compared with a traditional slated roof.
Speed
We can install your flat roof quickly and effectively, which not only reduces any inconvenience at your property, but also lowers overall project costs.
Better for the environment
Did you know that the materials used for single-ply flat roofs are 100% recyclable? That’s because they don’t contain metals or halogens, meaning if you choose a flat roof from Ericht Roofing, you’ll have the added benefit of knowing that your roof is made from 100% recycled materials. Better for your wallet and for the planet!
