Project Overview
Bigness Group was contracted to carry out a flat roof replacement for a residential property in London after extensive water damage and insulation failure were discovered.
Our roofing specialists conducted a complete inspection, removed the damaged roof layers, and installed a new high-performance EPDM rubber membrane system, ensuring long-term waterproof protection and improved energy efficiency.
This project required precision, timing, and care due to limited access and the property’s riverside location. Despite these challenges, our team delivered a seamless result — leak-free, durable, and aesthetically refined.
Project Objectives
- Replace the deteriorated flat roof with a durable EPDM system.
- Install high-quality insulation for enhanced thermal performance.
- Reinforce waterproofing and prevent future leaks.
- Complete the project efficiently with minimal disruption.
Scope of Works
- Roof inspection and damage assessment
- Full removal of old materials and insulation
- Installation of new thermal insulation boards
- Application of plywood sheeting and vapour barrier
- Fitting of EPDM rubber membrane roofing system
- Edge finishing, sealing, and site clean-up
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge 1 – Weather Exposure
Unexpected rainfall risked delays during removal and insulation work.
Solution: A full temporary cover system (blue tarp protection) was installed to safeguard against water ingress during construction.
Challenge 2 – Limited Roof Access
The narrow space between pitched roofs restricted movement.
Solution: Work was performed in staged sections with precision scaffolding and safety anchors to maintain efficiency.
Challenge 3 – Thermal Bridging
The old roof lacked insulation continuity.
Solution: The new installation incorporated continuous insulation layers and sealed vapour barriers for optimal energy efficiency.
