WHAT LIQUID ROOFING IS
Liquid roofing is a waterproof coating applied as a liquid and left to cure into one continuous, seamless membrane. Because it's applied cold and flows into place, it forms an unbroken skin over the whole surface including around pipes, upstands and awkward shapes where a sheet or felt roof would need joints. Those joints are exactly where most flat roofs eventually fail, which is why a liquid system can be such a durable, low-fuss solution.
WHEN WE'D RECCOMEND A LIQUID ROOF
Liquid roofing isn't right for every roof — but for some jobs it's clearly the best option.
We'd typically recommend it for:
Flat roofs — a seamless, hard-wearing waterproof covering, ideal for a re-cover over an existing surface.
Balconies and terraces — a walk-on, waterproof finish that seals right up to the edges and thresholds.
Valleys and gutters — lining and waterproofing the parts of a roof most prone to leaks.
Complex or awkward roofs — anywhere with lots of detailing, upstands or shapes that a sheet system can't follow cleanly.
If your roof is a straightforward flat roof, a sheet system like EPDM or GRP may suit you just as well. We'll tell you honestly which is the better fit. See flat roofing.
ACCREDITED INSTALLER, GUARANTEED SYSTEMS
We're an accredited installer of multiple systems, which matters more than it sounds. Liquid systems only perform if they're prepared and applied properly, and the long manufacturer guarantee only stands when an accredited installer fits them.
That means the coating on your roof is applied to the manufacturer's standard, and you get a guarantee registered in your name not just our word that it'll last.
LIQUID ROOFING OR A NEW FLAT ROOF?
Both waterproof a flat roof; they just do it differently.
A liquid system coats the surface you've got, seamlessly, and is ideal for re-covers, balconies and complex details.
A sheet system, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass, is often the better choice for a standard flat roof replacement.
We'll look at your roof and recommend the one that genuinely suits it, not the one that suits us. See flat roofing, or if you're not sure what your roof needs at all, book a roof inspection.

LIQUID ROOFING FAQs
See a list below of our frequently asked questions from our customers
How long does a liquid roof last?
A properly applied liquid system is long-lasting, and because we're an accredited installer, the systems we fit come with a manufacturer-backed guarantee. We'll tell you the guarantee period for the system we recommend.
Can you apply a liquid roof over my existing flat roof?
Often, yes, one of the main advantages of liquid roofing is that it can re-cover an existing surface, provided it's sound and properly prepared. We'll check yours and tell you straight.
Is liquid roofing good for a balcony or terrace?
Yes, it gives a seamless, walk-on waterproof finish that seals right up to the edges and thresholds, which is why it's a popular choice for balconies and terraces.
Liquid roof or EPDM/GRP — which should I choose?
It depends on the roof. Liquid suits re-covers, balconies and complex details; a sheet system often suits a standard flat roof replacement. We'll recommend the right one for yours, see flat roofing.
My roof is leaking now — should I book an inspection or a repair?
If it's an active leak, call us — we'll get it made safe first. An inspection is for when you want the full picture rather than an urgent fix. See emergency roof repairs.
Which areas do you cover?
Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Maidstone, Strood, Sittingbourne, West Malling, Aylesford, Faversham and across Kent & Medway.
My roof is leaking right now — what should I do?
Move anything valuable out from under the leak, put a bucket down, and call us. On an emergency call we, make the roof safe and stop the water getting in, then arrange the full repair.
How fast can you get to an emergency roof repair?
We aim to attend emergency leaks the same day across the ME area and out across Kent & Medway. We prioritise active leaks and storm damage.
Can you repair storm damage?
Yes, slipped and missing tiles, lifted felt, damaged flashing and storm-related leaks are everyday work for us.
Will you go up on the roof in bad weather?
We'll always come out and make your roof safe, but we won't carry out a full repair at height in a live storm or high wind it isn't safe and it isn't good work. We weatherproof it to stop the damage, then complete the permanent repair as soon as conditions allow.
Do you repair flat roofs as well as tiled roofs?
Both. For a flat roof that keeps failing, see flat roofing sometimes a re-cover is the better fix than another patch.
