Flat Roofing Systems Explained
EPDM Roofs
Known for its longevity and strength, this material can last over 50 years with proper maintenance. EPDM roofs have been designed to withstand extreme temperatures and weather, yet remain light and flexible, making them a viable cover for even the most unusual-shaped structures. Recyclable throughout its lifespan, EPDM is a great choice for eco-conscious residents, and Especially Roofing is a certified installer of RubberCover EPDM systems, a leading brand known for its innovative, long-lasting products.
GRP Roofs
When the RNLI uses GRP for its lifeboats, you know you’re in safe hands with a GRP flat roof guarding your property. These systems have a seamless, watertight finish, free from vulnerabilities that let water seep through. Available in a range of colours, GRP roofs are a great choice if you want to get creative, adding kerb appeal while benefiting from their robust, long-lasting nature. Especially Roofing is an approved installer of Cure It GRP systems, a sought-after product line and one of the best you’ll find on the market.
Torch-on Felt Roofs
Those looking for flat roof installation on a budget should consider torch-on felt as a fast, affordable option. Our roofers apply multiple layers of roofing felt to create a secure and watertight end product. Despite being the economical choice, torch-on felt roofs can last for decades with proper maintenance.
Green Roofs
An increasingly popular option our roofers install for clients in and around Hull and Hornsea, green roofs feature living, breathing foliage on top to boost the local ecosystem. In addition to serving as an olive branch to Mother Nature, green roofs excel at absorbing rainwater and filtering pollutants, improving air quality. Add exceptional insulation on top, and you can see why so many are opting for them.

They’re constructed with a slight gradient to encourage water runoff. It’s so slight, it’s practically impossible to notice. When combined with high-performance membranes and proper installation techniques, this gradient effectively drains and reduces the risk of standing water causing damage over time.
They benefit from periodic inspections to check for debris build-up, blocked outlets, and signs of wear. Keeping drainage points clear and addressing minor issues early helps maintain the roof’s performance and significantly extends its lifespan.
