It is recommended that you have your flat roof inspected by a qualified professional at least once a year. However, if your flat roof is located in a harsh climate or is subject to heavy traffic, you may need to have it inspected more often.

LAMs, applied as a liquid, cure to form a continuous waterproof membrane. LAMs are available in a variety of materials.

Flat roofs can be more difficult to maintain than pitched roofs because they are more prone to ponding water and leaks. It is important to inspect your flat roof regularly for any signs of damage and to have it repaired by a qualified professional as soon as possible.

Built-up roofing systems (BUR) involve multiple layers of bitumen-coated felt fused together

Single-ply roofing systems consist of a single layer of synthetic membrane that is adhered to the roof deck. There are also bitumen-based alternatives, which are available from Proteus Waterproofing.

A flat roof is a roof that has a slope of less than 10 degrees.

LAMs typically necessitate minimal maintenance. Simply inspect the system regularly for any signs of damage or wear and tear. If any damage is found, it can be easily repaired using the appropriate materials and techniques.

LAMs are suitable for a range of flat roofs, including:

• Commercial roofs

• Industrial roofs

• Residential roofs

• Rooftop decks

• Balconies

• Walkways

• Green roofs
