Why Highpoint Roofing uses Ultraflex on tricky details
Handy on awkward shapes
The liquid finish suits flat roofs with awkward shapes and many details.
Vulnerable points reinforced
Reinforcement is added where outlets, upstands and corners need extra support.
Fewer joints to test
Fewer joints can mean fewer places for water to test over time.
Useful where flat roofs have awkward details
Some flat roofs are awkward by design. Upstands, outlets, corners and roof penetrations can leave lots of places where a sheet system has to be cut, joined and detailed carefully. Ultraflex is a liquid-applied option that forms a continuous waterproof membrane across the prepared surface, which makes it useful where seamless detailing has real value. In Dartford, we use it for flat-roof repair and installation work after checking the roof condition, the shape of the area and the state of the substrate. When you ask Highpoint Roofing about Ultraflex, we explain where it suits a roof well and where another system may make more sense.
Prepare the roof before the membrane goes on
The roof underneath still matters. Before Ultraflex is applied, we inspect, clean and prepare the surface properly, and reinforce vulnerable points such as outlets and changes in direction. Moisture levels and the existing condition help us decide whether repair, overlay or replacement is the right route, because liquid systems need a suitable base to perform well. Where the roof is right for it, Ultraflex gives a flexible finish with fewer joints than more traditional felt or sheet-based coverings.
Frequently asked questions
Where is Ultraflex roofing most useful?
Ultraflex comes into its own on flat roofs with awkward details such as outlets, upstands, corners and penetrations. Because it is liquid applied, it can form a continuous membrane across shapes that are harder to manage cleanly with sheet-based systems.
Can Ultraflex be used on an existing flat roof?
That depends on the condition of the roof beneath it. We inspect the substrate, check for moisture and judge whether repair, overlay or replacement is the right route first. The system needs a suitable base if it is going to perform properly.
Why do you check moisture levels before applying it?
Moisture trapped in the roof can affect how well a liquid system bonds and cures. Checking the condition of the substrate helps us avoid applying a new surface over an old problem, which is the quickest way to shorten the life of the finished roof.
