Flat roofing systems (Built up felt roofing)

M J Faint Roofing Calne has been installing flat roof systems for many years. There have been many changes and innovations during these years one of the latest being the introduction of single-layer EPDM systems. Originally designed for the industrial / commercial markets, they are now becoming more cost effective and are entering the domestic sector. Being cold applied systems they eliminate the risks involved with hot-works. Our on-going training ensures our operatives are kept up to date with these changes. Even with the introduction of EPDM’s the most common and traditional flat roof systems today consist of three layers of Polyester roofing felt bonded together with 95/25 grade hot bitumen. Flat roofs can be finished with a mineral felt top layer, chippings or solar reflective paint. Depending on the project type we can advise the best system available.

Flat roofing systems (Lead)

As well as the hot and cold applied flat roof system mentioned above, lead is a traditional method used on many of our regions roofs. M J Faint Roofing Calne can carry out replacement of damaged lead flat roofs or form new from supplied designs etc. All of our lead work is carried out to Lead Development Associations recommendations and as such gives clients complete peace of mind regarding specification, craftsmanship and finish.

Zinc roofing systems

Where weight and length of roof bays are critical considerations, the use of zinc becomes an option for some projects. Having installed light weight zinc sheeting to a number of projects, M J Faint Roofing Calne will be happy to discuss the practicality of zinc systems where required.
