Why Choose a Flat Roof?
Flat roofs are ideal for a wide range of domestic and commercial applications, offering several advantages:
- ✅ Cost-effective installation and maintenance
- ✅ Excellent space efficiency — ideal for extensions and outbuildings
- ✅ Modern, sleek appearance that suits contemporary design
- ✅ Potential for roof terraces, solar panels, or green roofs
- ✅ Energy-efficient performance with proper insulation
When installed by professionals, a high-quality flat roof can last over 30 years with minimal maintenance.
Types of Flat Roofs We Install
At Skyline Roofing (Kingston) Ltd, we provide a full range of flat roofing systems to suit every type of property and budget.
Singleply Membranes
Made from synthetic materials such as thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, these membranes are applied in a single layer over the roof surface to create a watertight barrier. They are lightweight yet resistant to UV radiation
Protan - Sika - Alumasc
Liquid Systems
Because they are applied as a liquid, they can easily cover complex roof shapes, joints, and penetrations without the need for seams, which are common points of failure in traditional roofing systems.
Alumasc - Sika - Desmopol - Kemperol
Sedum Green Roof
Sedum green roofs are a type of living roof system that uses hardy, low-maintenance sedum plants to create a natural, vegetated surface over a waterproof roofing membrane. These roofs are designed to support plant growth while providing effective insulation, stormwater management, and biodiversity benefits.
Asphalt (Torch-On Felt)
Asphalt flat roofing systems are one of the most traditional and time-tested methods for waterproofing flat and low-slope roofs. Typically made from bitumen—a durable, petroleum-based material
Warm Roof & Cold Roof Systems
We install both warm flat roofs (insulation above the deck) for improved energy performance, and cold roofs (insulation below the deck) for cost-sensitive projects. Our team will recommend the best option for your property’s structure and usage.
