DELSTON DIY FLAT ROOFING    

 The Flat Roof Company 

Delston is located in south Wales.  We are a specialist flat and low pitch roofing company tailoring for customers who want quality long lasting roof materials. Over the years we have used many different roofing materials and EPDM synthetic rubber has proven itself time and again to be the longest lasting material "50+ years " and in most cases the easiest to install. 

Therefore we put together the following pages to inform and allow you the opportunity to use the same quality roofing products for your DIY flat roofing project.  And in doing so save you the money it would have cost to have the installation done by somebody else which can of coarse can be a substantial amount. 

Some areas covered by this site are: 

  How to build a flat roof. This page explains how to build a low pitch (flat) roof from the walls up. Although the page was designed for new build applications it can also be used for renovation work.

  How to Cover a flat roof. Shows how to install an EPDM synthetic rubber roof. Step by step instructions that give an indication of just how easy this method of roof covering is.

  How to create a green roof. The world is becoming ever more environmentally aware and for this reason we have included some pages on green roofs. An insight into what is a green roof as well as how to build one.

Obviously there is much more covered in this site so please feel free to look through and learn all you need to know to install a long lasting trouble free flat roof.

Flat and low pitch roofs have got a bad (and somewhat undeserved) reputation this is largely due to felt roofs which have a short life generally 10 - 15 years are prone to leaking and rapid deterioration due to Britain's varied weather conditions, but never the less people still insist on replacing felt with felt, year in year out mainly due to the lack of knowledge about better alternative roofing products. This in turn has given flat roofs their rather tarnished reputation. Hopefully after reading through this site you will know better.

Due to the fire risks and compensation claims made in relation to hot bitumous products many insurance companies will no longer cover companies who undertake hot felt work. So if you have your roof covered by such a company there is a possibility they may not be around to honour any guarantee they give you.

At Delston we are proud that we stand by all our Guarantee's (which is quite easy as the quality of the materials means that there is seldom ever a problem) and by offering you the same products you can have the same peace of mind and the products carry the same guarantee as if fitted by ourselves.
