Asphalt Roll Roofing
Asphalt is a popular option for roofing in residential buildings due to its widespread availability in various weights and measures, as well as its ability to feature either a smooth or granulated surface. This versatile roofing material is well-suited for various roofing scenarios and proves to be a cost-effective alternative to traditional tiling, with typically lower maintenance requirements. The application process for asphalt roofing involves the use of heat to apply two coats of the material onto a felt membrane. This membrane serves to insulate the roof from the asphalt. To further enhance the roof's performance, small white chips are typically added as a finishing touch. Should you need our special asphalt roofing, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Flat Roof Coverings
Flat roofs are typically waterproofed by covering them with a sheet substance known as a membrane. This membrane is important because it allows water to flow down a slight incline and into the guttering system, successfully stopping water from pooling on the roof and causing damage. Furthermore, different types of coverings can be used in flat roof systems, and we can identify the particular type of covering on your property. Roofers Kensington understands the significance of determining the specific type of roofing material put on your property. Our skilled roofers are prepared to evaluate your flat roof and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your roofing requirements.
