What you want from a new flat roof
System matched to roof use
We choose the flat-roof build-up around the property, use and local exposure.
Warranties with the system
Comprehensive warranties add reassurance when you are paying for new flat-roof work.
Drainage and detailing matter
Falls, outlets and upstands are treated as essentials, not last-minute extras.
A flat roof chosen for the building, not habit
A flat roof lives or dies by its build-up and detailing, not by the label on the membrane alone. For new roofs and refurbishment work, we fit systems such as EPDM, PVC and built-up felt, along with gravel, ballast and green roofing finishes where they suit the building. In Banbury, we look at how the roof is used, the exposure it gets, the deck below it and the style of the property before settling on a system. With LG ROOFING & UPVC LTD, the goal is a flat roof that drains cleanly, suits the structure and comes with proper warranty backing.
Performance starts below the surface
Good performance starts below the surface. Choosing LG ROOFING & UPVC LTD means the deck, falls, outlets, vapour control, insulation, perimeter trims, upstands and penetrations are all part of the discussion, because one weak detail can spoil the whole roof. After assessment, we can advise whether an overlay, partial refurbishment or complete replacement makes sense, based on the membrane, deck, insulation and any signs of trapped moisture. That gives you a specification matched to the building, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
Frequently asked questions
Which flat roof system is likely to suit my property?
That depends on how the roof is used, its size, the local exposure, the deck condition and the look you want. EPDM, PVC, felt and other finishes each have strengths, so the sensible choice comes after assessing the building rather than forcing every roof into the same system.
Can an older flat roof be overlaid?
Sometimes, but only if the existing roof and deck are in suitable condition. We need to check for trapped moisture, movement, poor falls, damaged insulation and failing edges first. If those issues are widespread, partial work can be a false economy compared with a fuller replacement.
What makes a flat roof last well?
A sound deck, correct falls, clear outlets, proper vapour control, suitable insulation and careful detailing around trims, upstands and penetrations all affect lifespan. A good membrane still depends on the layers beneath it, so preparation and drainage are just as important as the final surface.
