Re-roofing Projects on Existing Properties

May 06, 2018

Here at Watertight Systems we have been doing more and more re-roofing projects on existing properties whose membrane roofing has come to the end of its life. Technologies have improved a huge amount over the past 20 years, so replacing an old membrane system can significantly improve the comfort and performance of a home, and a new system will function for a longer duration than the membrane systems of old.

 

The new warm roof systems available now work particularly well for re-roofing low pitched roofs. We can simply lay a new metal substrate over the existing roof, cover with PIR insulation and top with either a 2 layer torch on membrane or TPO rubber member. Owners of homes who’ve carried outthis work say their homes are far warmer and more comfortable, almost like living in a new house.

Maintenance Tip


Clean your membrane and drains annually

 

It may seem obvious but it’s amazing how much damage a blocked drain or overflow can cause over time. Most membrane roofs aren’t that visible so it’s easy to miss dirt and debris build ups.
