High-Tech PVC membranes are engineered to form a stable waterproof covering to your flat roof
Home emergencies can be an expensive business and always tend to happen at times of great inconvenience such as a boiler breakdown in the midst of an exceptionally cold winter.
Not only are you faced with the challenge of locating a suitable contractor to fix the problem at short notice, you can also end up with a greatly inflated call-out fee for the urgent nature of your repairs.
Some household events can never be prevented but homeowners can prepare and protect themselves from others to limit the cost and inconvenience caused later down the line.
High-Tech Membrane Roofing Ltd specialises in the installation of maintenance-free PVC single-ply flat roofing systems across the Basildon area and beyond. These systems have a much longer life span than more traditional materials and others greater protection against the elements.
High-Tech PVC membranes are engineered to form a stable waterproof covering to your flat roof and its performance is unaffected by expansion and contraction. It is also fully protected against damaging solar rays and the very worst of British weather.
A titanium dioxide top layer provides optimum UV resistance and is solar reflective, never requiring any type of covering such as stone chippings, solar paint or any other type of protective coating.
A unique surface lacquer provides an easy to clean surface which is maintenance free and resistant to any air Bourne chemicals including unsightly moss and algae growth.
High-Tech flat-roofing membranes are vapour permeable making it 100% resistant to blistering and as it is a breathable product it will eliminate the risk of condensation.
Steve Thornton, director of High-Tech, said: “ What happens with felt is it tends to break down very slowly over the years and water begins to gradually seep through the timbers into the ceiling. You may start to notice a small patch of damp on the ceiling and it could get worse and worse until one day it just caves in.
“During hot weather, it can also start to separate as if a knife has been sliced through it which means during any period of sustained rainfall water can pour into the inside.
“Once a felt roof has started to leak it will start failing and the best advice is to renew the roofing system altogether.
“High-Tech membranes offer a much longer lifespan (in excess of 50 years), giving homeowners peace of mind. They are also offer value for money because of the quality of the system ensures no additional expense is paid out for on-going maintenance or repairs.”
High-Tech Membrane Roofing Ltd offers a unique lifetime guarantee, carrying a 20-year full product and labour warranty which is fully transferable on request should the property be sold.
