Single ply roofing is one of the most effective flat roofing systems for commercial buildings in Exeter and across Devon. It's strong, flexible and weather resistant, and it gives excellent waterproofing while staying lightweight and adaptable to different roof shapes.
Why commercial owners choose single ply
- Large areas, fewer joins. Membranes come in wide rolls, so big roofs can be covered with far fewer seams than older systems. Fewer seams means fewer places for water to get in.
- Lightweight. Single ply adds very little load to the structure, which matters on older units and when re-roofing over an existing deck.
- Low maintenance. Once it's down, a regular check of outlets, edges and details is usually all it needs.
- Long life. Fitted to the manufacturer's specification, single ply systems come with manufacturer guarantees, in some cases of up to 25 years.
- Works with insulation. Insulation can be added under the membrane, helping with heating costs in offices and shops.
Keeping the business running
On a commercial job the roof is only half of it. The other half is working around the people inside. We agree a realistic schedule before we start, keep the site safe and tidy, and talk to you about anything that might affect your day, such as deliveries, access or noisy work.
Repairs and refurbishment
Not every tired commercial roof needs replacing. Many single ply roofs can be repaired or upgraded without stripping the whole thing, depending on the damage. We'll give you an honest assessment of what the roof actually needs, not the biggest job we can sell you.
