Flat Roofing London
 A flat roof is a type of covering of a building. In contrast to the
sloped form of a roof, a flat roof is horizontal or nearly horizontal.
Materials that cover flat roofs should allow the water to run off freely
from a very slight inclination. Traditionally flat roofs would use a tar
and gravel based surface which, as long as there was no pooling of
water, was sufficient to prevent penetration. However, these surfaces
would tend to fail in colder climates, where ice dams and the like could
block the flow of water. Similarly, they tend to be sensitive to sagging
of the roof reversing the subtle grading of the surface.
Modern flat roofs tend to use a continuous membrane covering which can
better resist pools of standing water. These membranes are applied as a
continuous sheet where possible, though sealants and adhesives are
available to allow for bonding multiple sheets and dealing with
structures penetrating the roof surface. Far more expensive flat roof
options include sealed metal roofs using copper or tin. These are
soldered interlocking systems of metal panels.

durable EPDM Rubber Roofing System, made by Rubberbond. This is the most
