Where single-ply earns its place
Low roof loading
The light material weight can help on projects where every extra load matters.
Strong seam detailing
We pay close attention to joins and penetrations where flat roofs often fail.
Quick project progress
Faster installation can keep disruption and time on site down when planned well.
A lightweight flat-roof system with real strength
Single-ply roofing suits projects where you want a flat-roof membrane that is light to handle but still tough once installed. At around 2 to 3 kg per sq m, the material weight can help on roofs where loading matters or where a quicker, cleaner installation is a real plus. We use single-ply systems on conventional flat roofs and green roofing projects, paying close attention to the membrane seams, penetrations and edge details that do the hard work in bad weather. With Trade Right Paving & Roofing Ltd, the point is not speed for its own sake. It is getting a roof on that is properly formed and built to resist tears, punctures and water ingress.
Fast to install, but only if the details are right
One of the main attractions of single-ply roofing is the pace of installation compared with some other flat-roof systems. That can help keep a project moving and may reduce labour time, but only when the roof is prepared properly first. We assess the deck, plan the detailing and form the membrane around penetrations and junctions so the finished roof works as a complete surface. With Trade Right Paving & Roofing Ltd, every single-ply installation also comes with a 20-year guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
What makes single-ply different from other flat roofs?
Single-ply uses a lightweight membrane rather than a layered built-up covering. It is valued for speed, low weight and good resistance to tears, punctures and weather, provided the seams and detailing are formed properly during installation.
Is single-ply suitable for green roofing projects?
Yes. Single-ply membranes are often used on green roofing projects as well as standard flat roofs. The key is making sure the build-up, drainage and detailing around penetrations are all planned around the roof's intended use.
Do new single-ply roofs come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our single-ply roofing installations are backed by a 20-year guarantee. We explain the roof build-up, the condition of the base and the detailing involved before work starts, so you know exactly what is being installed.
