Domestic flat-roof systems

Domestic flat roofing with EPDM and MonoSeal.

EPDM can suit straightforward roof areas. MonoSeal can suit roofs with complex details and transitions. We recommend the system after reviewing the roof condition, substrate, drainage and intended use.

Core domestic routes

The right system for the roof.

Start with the roof shape, condition and failure—not a preferred product. Warranty length matters, but suitability decides the specification.

01

EPDM rubber roofing

A single-ply membrane option for suitable extensions, garages, dormers, porches and garden rooms.

02

MonoSeal liquid roofing

Hand-applied pure-polyurea waterproofing for complex details, transitions and suitable domestic roofs.

03

Repair, refurbish or renew?

We check leaks, seams, outlets, standing water, the roof deck and previous repairs before recommending a system.

Choose the system from the roof condition.

We check more than the visible roof covering before recommending a system.

01

Roof geometry

Large, open and uncomplicated areas often suit EPDM. Numerous outlets, penetrations and transitions can favour seamless MonoSeal.

02

Existing condition

The covering is only one layer. Deck stability, trapped moisture, falls and existing details must be understood first.

03

Finished use

A garage roof, warm extension roof and balcony do not ask the same things of a waterproofing system.

04

Repair or renewal

A local defect may justify repair. Widespread failure, wet insulation or a poor deck changes the scope completely.

Problem first

Leaking does not automatically mean replacing.

Recurring leaks
Failed seams or details
Ponding water
Punctures and damage
Rotten or unstable deck
Ageing previous covering

Written warranty terms

Confirmed for the specified system.

Any warranty offered is subject to the product, substrate, preparation, installation, inspection and written project terms.

Clear answers

Domestic flat-roof questions

Straight answers before you choose a covering

Which is better: EPDM or MonoSeal?
Neither system is automatically better for every roof. EPDM is a proven, practical membrane for many straightforward domestic flat roofs. MonoSeal is a seamless liquid-applied option that can be particularly useful around complex geometry and details. The correct choice follows the roof condition, build-up and intended use.
What warranties are available?
Warranty terms depend on the selected product, specification, substrate, installation and supplier or manufacturer approval. Any warranty offered for a project will be stated in writing with its conditions.
Can you assess a leaking flat roof before recommending a system?
Yes. The aim is to identify whether the problem is local or widespread and check the deck, drainage, edges, outlets, penetrations and existing build-up before discussing repair, overlay or renewal.
What domestic roofs do these systems suit?
Typical applications include extensions, garages, dormers, porches, garden rooms, balconies and other flat or low-slope domestic roofs, subject to a suitable survey and specification.
