Lead flat roofs can be aesthetically pleasing, and durable if installed correctly. If choosing lead as your covering, first be sure that it isn’t easily accessed by thieves.

Liquid Rubber
We have completed some very large projects using liquid rubber solutions. This is an excellent option for large flat roofs, as an alternative to full replacement.
High Performance Felt
Torch-on membranes have an underside which has been pre-treated with a covering of thermofusible bitumen. This covering is then heated with a propance gas torch and the membrane is applied to the surface of the roof while the bitumen is still hot.
The modern, Torch-on, High Performance Felt roof systems consist of three layers of felt, a venting layer, a torch applied underlay and a torch-on capping sheet with mineral finish. The capping sheet comes in Green, Russet or Blue/grey finish giving good looking finish to your flat roof.
Barris Roofing Ltd are fully insured for heat work.

Mastic asphalt is the ultimate in protection for a wide range of construction applications. It offers total water proofing integrity for roofing and tanking, acts as a tough working surface and damp-proof membrane in flooring and is ideal for paving, offering a durable wearing surface and is the best choice for roof terrace applications when used with promenade tiles.
An Asphalt flat roof will last many, many years with minimum maintenance.
