With many of us reaching for our thermals and our woolly hats, it may seem unseasonal to start talking about the spring and summer months. But here at High-Tech Membrane Roofing Ltd, Basildon’s leading flat roof company, we believe it is never too early to start planning ahead – and thinking of the sunshine might even help to take the chill off!

Have you ever considered the benefits and impact a new balcony would have on your home? Think of those lovely summer evenings when you could escape to your own roof terrace with a long drink and a book and watch the sun go down, or enjoy true Al-fresco dining. Balconies and sun-terraces were an extremely popular feature of homes built in the 70s and 80s, but we’ve found over the last few years that they are seeing something of a revival.

High-Tech Membrane has noticed a new wave of admirers seeking to apply for planning permission to create a balcony over their garage or flat roof structure. It is also a worthwhile investment when you come to sell your property. Estate agents say a balcony or roof terrace can make a home more attractive to potential buyers, especially if they are looking for a summer sale, and can add value to your home.

High Tech Membrane Roofing’s superior PVC single-ply system can be used to refurbish existing balconies or converting existing flat roofs into new terrace areas and is highly durable so you’ve no need to worry about the addition of pot plants and patio furniture. Single-ply comprises strong flexible sheets composed mainly of synthetic polymer. All joins carry a fusion weld-forming continuous waterproofing and are 100% resistant to weathering, chemical oxidation and UV radiation and no artificial surface protection is required.

High-Tech Membrane Roofing is licensed to install Protan, Sarnafil and Alwitra Single-Ply systems. It is important that the existing under decking timbers are of a solid and strong nature, please note unlike other products we can install on to the existing deck.
