What you gain from a proper new roof
Water led away correctly
Proper falls and drainage details help stop standing water gathering on the roof.
Weak points dealt with
Edges, outlets and penetrations are finished carefully, where many flat roof leaks begin.
Written cover on new work
Every complete new flat roof comes with a 10-year guarantee for clear reassurance.
A new flat roof starts with the full build-up
A new flat roof is more than a sheet laid over the top and hoped for the best. The strength is in the whole build-up: a sound deck, proper falls so water runs away, clean drainage, and careful finishing around edges, outlets and roof openings. If your current roof is tired, patchy or part of a new project, we build the system to suit how the space is used. Choosing A One Flat Roofs means the small details are not treated as small, because weak corners, loose trims and rushed outlets are where trouble usually starts. In Swansea, we fit flat roofs that are made to keep the weather out and the headaches down.
Choosing the membrane and fitting it properly
Some roofs suit EPDM because the membrane can cover broad areas with few joints. Others suit felt because the detailing, shape or finish calls for a layered system. We assess the roof, measure up, prepare the deck, apply the chosen covering and finish every junction with care before the final checks are done. With A One Flat Roofs, you get a roof planned around outlets, upstands and abutments rather than one forced to fit later. That matters, because a tidy finish is nice to look at, but a watertight finish is the part that earns its keep in bad weather.
Frequently asked questions
What does a complete new flat roof installation involve?
We start by assessing the roof size, deck condition, falls, drainage and detailing. If needed, damaged sections are renewed before the new covering is fitted. We then finish the edges, outlets, upstands and other junctions so the whole roof works as one weatherproof system.
Should I choose EPDM or felt for a new flat roof?
That depends on the roof shape, the number of corners or openings, the look you want and how the details need to be formed. During inspection we explain which system suits the roof best, so you are choosing for performance rather than picking a material out of thin air.
Why do outlets and edges matter so much on flat roofs?
Because that is where flat roofs often fail first. Water needs a clear route away, and the membrane needs secure finishing at the perimeter and around every opening. Taking care over those details helps prevent the kind of small weakness that turns into a very annoying leak.
