Deciding on the right roofing solution for your property can often be confusing and overwhelming, but thankfully, here at ELC Roofing, our expert team are vastly experienced at working with, and installing, all types of flat roof.
An increasingly popular choice is single-ply roofs which are versatile and suitable for many different flat roof projects.
Single-ply roofs are a cost-effective, long-lasting and lightweight roofing solution designed for low-sloped roof applications. Utilising a single layer of waterproof membrane, they are most commonly manufactured from a variety of manmade synthetic materials.
Single-ply roofs are typically very easy to install and through the use of wide-width, waterproof sheeting there are fewer seams than would be found on a more traditional asphaltic rolled roof. This in turn eliminates the need to use hot asphalt or torches for installation, making the process much quicker and safer.
The most commonly used single-ply membranes are thermosets and thermoplastic. Both have their own unique set of credentials and our expert team will be happy to discuss the features and benefits of either with you.
With brands such as Soprema, Trocal, EPDM and Sarnafil leading the way in the manufacture of single-ply roofing solutions, we here at ELC Roofing are proud to offer these products to our customers.
These single-ply roofing systems are lightweight, much quicker to install and more cost-effective than other roofing constructions and they all provide long-lasting protection and resistance to the natural elements.

It is important to act swiftly if you think that your flat roof requires repair. Damage caused by water can be a costly and time consuming fix, often when water finds a way to penetrate the waterproof membrane, it can seep through to structural timbers, saturate masonry and can cause internal damp problems.
ELC Roofing are experts at identifying and repairing any areas of damage quickly and professionally.
There are a number of variables involved in calculating the cost of your single-ply flat roof, and depending on the materials and manufacturer you’ve selected, the price can vary considerably.
