Our Single Ply Roofing Installation Process
1
Step 1: Site Preparation & Safety
We begin by erecting professional scaffolding to ensure safe access and protection for both our team and your property.
A skip is delivered to site for responsible waste removal.
2
Step 2: Roof Strip-Back
The existing roof covering is fully stripped back to the roof trusses, allowing us to inspect the structure and ensure a solid foundation for the new system.
3
Step 3: Roof Deck Installation
The roof is reboarded using high-quality OSB decking sheets, creating a strong, level base.
A vapour control layer (vapour barrier) is then installed to prevent condensation and moisture build-up.
4
Step 4: Thermal Insulation Installation
We install high-performance insulation boards, designed to:
Retain heat inside the property
Improve energy efficiency
Reduce heating costs
5
Step 5: Single Ply Membrane Fixing
The single ply roofing membrane is installed using a combination of adhesive bonding and mechanical fixings, securely fixing it to the decking to withstand weather and wind uplift.
6
Step 6: Heat-Welded Seams & Detailing
All joints, seams, and overlaps are professionally heat-welded using specialist hot-air equipment, creating a seamless, watertight finish with long-term durability.

Step 7: Site Clearance
Once installation is complete:
The skip is removed
Scaffolding is safely dismantled
The site is left clean and tidy

Step 8: Warranty & Completion
