Choosing the Right Flat Roofing Material

We offer a range of flat roofing systems to suit different needs and budgets. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a highly flexible synthetic rubber that forms a durable, single-sheet membrane, minimizing seams and offering excellent resistance to extreme temperatures. EPDM roofs typically last 20–30 years.

GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), commonly known as fibreglass, is a liquid laminate applied seamlessly over your roof deck. It creates a solid, waterproof, and lightweight surface that is easy to integrate with features like rooflights. For a more traditional and cost-effective solution, we also install modern Bitumen Felt systems, which often involve multiple reinforced layers applied using heat for a robust waterproof finish.

Trusted Brands in Flat Roofing

Acton & Fox LTD uses high-quality materials from reputable brands to ensure the longevity and performance of your flat roof. For EPDM systems, we often work with industry leaders like Elevate (formerly Firestone) and Resitrix.

In felt roofing, we trust systems from well-regarded manufacturers such as IKO and Bauder. For fibreglass (GRP) installations, we utilize BBA-certified resins from trusted suppliers like Polyroof and Cure It, ensuring a durable and reliable finish for your Whitehaven property.
