Single-Ply Roofing in Sussex

Single-ply roofing uses a specialist flexible membrane to waterproof flat and low-slope roofs. Mascot Roofing can advise on single-ply installation, repairs and refurbishment for suitable domestic and commercial projects across Sussex.

The membrane may be mechanically fixed, adhered or installed as part of another approved build-up. Seams are joined using the method specified for the system, while preformed components help detail outlets, corners and penetrations.

Where single-ply roofing can be used

Single-ply systems are used on extensions, commercial roofs, schools, offices and other buildings where a lightweight membrane and carefully designed roof build-up are appropriate.

What a successful installation requires

Specification should consider wind loading, insulation, vapour control, substrate, drainage and the number of roof penetrations. Installation quality is particularly important at seams and changes in direction.

• A roof build-up designed for the building and substrate.
• Secure fixing or adhesion appropriate to the project.
• Consistent seam preparation and joining.
• Careful detailing at outlets, upstands, edges and penetrations.

Repairs and refurbishment

Punctures, open seams and local detail failures may be repairable with compatible membrane materials. Identifying the membrane type and checking for trapped moisture are important first steps.

A roof with widespread seam problems, saturated insulation or an unsuitable original build-up may need a more comprehensive refurbishment plan.

Our approach

1. Discuss the property, roof area, symptoms and access.
2. Inspect the existing covering, deck, drainage and important junctions.
3. Explain whether a repair, overlay or replacement is appropriate.
4. Provide a clear scope and quotation before work starts.
5. Prepare and install the system with close attention to waterproof details.
