Flat Roof Replacement/Repair Systems
Three Systems That Work in Banbury’s Conditions
Banbury lies on the North Oxfordshire geology which consists mostly of ironstone and limestone and gives rise to different building conditions compared to the clay soil in other parts of Midlands. There is no seasonal expansion and contraction of the soil in this area, but due to special drainage conditions and geographical location the roofs in Banbury have their own set of requirements which we consider in all our installations.
GRP Fibreglass – The Most Popular Choice for Banbury Homes
Suitable for: House extensions, garage and outbuildings conversions and residential houses in residential areas of Banbury – from historic streets of Easington and quiet streets of Warwick Road, to newer developments in Hardwick and villages around Banbury.
Why it suits Banbury so well:
GRP makes one solid waterproof membrane with no seams whatsoever and in Banbury's climate with hot summers and cold and wet winters it's a huge advantage. As the material expands and contracts seasonally in different conditions, systems with joints and laps leave vulnerabilities in them which allows water to get in. GRP roof is not affected by this in any way and performs consistently year after year.
- One seamless membrane
- The system is suitable for North Oxfordshire's seasonal temperature changes
- 25-year guarantee included
- The majority of domestic jobs are done in 1-2 days
- Resistant to light foot traffic for accessible roofs

Single Ply Membrane – The Right Solution for Commercial Roofs in Banbury
Suitable for: Large commercial roofs, industrial buildings, retail units and larger residential buildings in Banbury's commercial areas and M40 corridor.
Why Banbury businesses prefer it:
Speed of installation is of great importance in many commercial situations – operations cannot be interrupted for long periods of time. Single Ply Membrane is easy and quick to install, covering large areas of the roof quickly and its inherent flexibility helps with the thermal movements of commercial buildings. With a guarantee up to 30 years it is a system which is preferred by commercial landlords and facilities managers.
- Fast and efficient installation with minimum interruption
- Poor-performing large commercial roofs are solved easily
- Completely flexible – suitable for thermal movements
- Available guarantees are up to 30 years
- Proven on Banbury's industrial and commercial buildings

Kemper Waterproofing – For Banbury’s Heritage Properties
Best for: Listed buildings, conservation area properties and older Banbury buildings requiring sensitive treatment – particularly properties around the historic town centre, the market place, and near St. Mary’s Church.
Why it suits Banbury’s heritage stock:
Banbury has a genuine historic core and a number of properties that sit within conservation areas or carry listed status. Cherwell District Council – now part of North Oxfordshire District Council – applies specific requirements to any alterations on these buildings. Kemper can in many cases be applied directly over existing roof structures without significant alteration, making it far easier to satisfy planning and conservation requirements while still achieving the modern waterproofing performance a building needs.
- Often applied without removing the existing roof structure
- Ideal for properties with planning and conservation constraints
- Handles complex roof details and irregular shapes
- Brings older roofs fully up to modern performance standards
- 25-year guarantee

Banbury Projects That Demonstrate Our Experience
Manufacturing Facility Roof Replacement – Beaumont Industrial Estate
The Situation: A manufacturing company on Beaumont Industrial Estate contacted us with the issue of several roof failures on their main production facility. The original felt roof was patched two times previously by other companies but the problem kept reoccurring. Water penetration was affecting the functioning of the equipment and the landlord was under the pressure of the tenant to solve the problem forever.
What We Did: After the structural survey it turned out that the substrate had deteriorated considerably under the failed felt roof system and patching the roof was no longer possible – the only solution was the complete roof replacement. We decided to install Single Ply Membrane system which is capable of handling the thermal movements in industrial buildings and at the same time provides long-lasting solution. The work was planned according to the production schedule, the most noisy work was done during the planned maintenance shutdown.
The result: The facility has been watertight ever since. The landlord got a 30-year guarantee, the tenant relations are restored and we have been assigned to do the inspection and maintenance of two other facilities in the same portfolio.
Victorian Terrace Extension – Castle Street Area
The situation: The homeowners of one of the older residential streets in Banbury called us to resolve the issue of a leaking flat roof on the extension attached to their Victorian terrace in the early 1990s. The original felt system didn't perform very well and was patched two times in four previous years. The repairs lasted for less than a year each time.
What we did: Upon examination it turned out that the original roof installation used an inappropriate system which wasn't suitable for the extension's exposure and configuration. Instead of performing another patch job we removed the failed roof completely, checked the condition of the deck and installed a GRP roof with proper edge detailing and drainage falls.
The result: The homeowners have had no problems with their roof since the installation. They got a 25-year guarantee and an extra space which is now dry and functional all year round. This project lead to getting two more inquiries from other homeowners on the same street who faced the same problem with the extensions built in the same period.
Historical Building's Roof Replacement – Town Centre Conservation Area
The situation: An owner of a building in Banbury's conservation area needed to replace the failing roof on a part of his Grade II listed building. Being a listed building and part of a conservation area, any work on the building requires the listed building consent and the approval of the planning authority. Previously other contractors gave quotes which were not taking into account these requirements and/or didn't propose any solution which was acceptable for the conservation officers.
What we did: We started working with the property owner from the very beginning to develop the specification which would satisfy the requirements of the planning authority. Our choice of Kemper waterproofing system was based on the fact that it can be installed without any significant alterations of the existing roof and thus meet the requirement of the conservation officers of preserving the historical appearance of the building as much as possible. We prepared all the technical documents necessary for the listed building consent application and worked directly with the planning authority.
The result: The listed building consent was given, the roof replacement was successfully completed and the building now has a 25-year guaranteed roof which fully meets the requirements of the listed building status. The complicated-looking process turned out to be quite simple thanks to our experience in dealing with this sort of projects in the region.

How quickly can you arrange a survey and quotation?
In most cases we can visit you within 24 hours of first contact and provide you with the detailed written quotation on the very same day. If you contact us in the morning we'll visit you in the afternoon.
I have a commercial property with an active leak – how fast can you react?
If it's an emergency, contact us directly on 0800 456 1104. We'll do our best to send one of our employees to your place within a day and implement either a permanent fix or a proper temporary solution until the full repair can be made.
Does your guarantee cover materials and installation?

Can you work on listed buildings and conservation area buildings in Banbury?
Yes, we work regularly with historical buildings in and around Banbury's historic town centre. We know how the planning of such buildings works and can help you to go through the listed building consent process as well as carry out the installation itself.
My flat roof has been repaired before and the problem keeps coming back – what should I do?
Usually, repeated failures after repairing show that the system is completely worn out and requires replacement.
