Each project is unique in its requirements, but we have case studies and examples of our work available for you to look at. For new constructions and some re-roofing projects, consulting with your local council’s Building Control office may be necessary to ensure compliance with regulations. Moss and mould can be removed with biodegradable solutions that are readily and commercially available. The multiple layering reduces the risk of failure, as any damage in one layer will usually be covered by the next layer.

In domestic buildings, the structure is usually in the form of timber joists although it may be concrete or even steel structures can be used. High pressure water blasting is recommended at a minimum of 220 bar / 3200 psi equipped with a rotating zero-degree angle nozzle.For example, they mention it's waterproof after 1 coat, the quality of the finish and weatherproofing is second to none, and it dries quick. These ensure that the base layer of the roof is protected, aid water protection and protect from the weather.

This hybrid material combines asphalt membranes with polymerized rubber or plastic and is reinforced with fiberglass, creating a sturdy yet flexible roofing material. Our high quality Bauder Total Roof System offers a range of membranes, each with their own attributes, that enable the specified solution to meet the needs of each project. Then apply a brush coat of RD-Elastodeck above and through so that the coating comes into contact with the surface. Sheet metal materials commonly used for flat roof covering include aluminium, copper, lead, stainless steel, terne coated stainless steel (TCSS) and zinc.Bituminous membrane roofing systems are durable with a service life in excess of ** years according to section 12 of the relevant BBA certificate.

During Spring, it is crucial to examine the pointing for signs of frost damage, which can result in moisture infiltration into the roof structure. It's the total amount of material applied that counts, not the number of coats as long as you have a minimum of two. Its excellent waterproofing properties make it ideal in the construction of green roofs (see below).

A mastic asphalt roof gives a seamless covering and can be used on timber, metal and concrete decks.

Despite its advantages, mod bit roofing has a shorter lifespan (~20 years) compared to some other materials and can absorb heat if dark-colored. These protect the roof from sun damage yet they also weigh it down enough to protect against wind damage. Fire classification BROOF(t4) to BS EN 13501-5 tested to TS 1187 test 4 for external fire exposure on defined permutations of product build up. Ensuring that any items of plant/equipment that may have been introduced to the roof are sited on suitable isolated slabs, with additional surface protection beneath, and that any fixings that may have been used to secure them, do not penetrate the waterproofing.If it’s a new flat roof on a habitable building, contacting your local building control office may be necessary. The most popular and fastest way to do this is to clean the surface using a pressure washer powered at 220 bar / 3200 psi and equipped with a rotating nozzle with a zero degree angle.
