Mastic Asphalt Roofing in Heron House
Mastic asphalt provides a seamless, impermeable membrane capable of withstanding heavy foot traffic and vehicular loads. GB Roofing Ltd installs traditional asphalt for roofs, balconies, walkways, and car park decks across the North East.
When You Need Asphalt Roofing Services
Cracking or crazing on the surface of your asphalt roof allows moisture to seep into the substrate. Blistering or bulging indicates moisture or air trapped beneath the asphalt layer. Water leaks appearing below balconies or walkway decks signal failure in the asphalt barrier. Aging asphalt showing signs of wear and surface erosion needs professional resurfacing or repair.
How We Do It
We inspect the structural deck and ensure a proper separating membrane is laid to prevent cracking from substrate movement. We apply the molten mastic asphalt at high temperatures in successive coats, manually floating and smoothing it into a seamless sheet. We dress the asphalt up vertical surfaces and form neat details around upstands, drains, and door thresholds. We apply solar reflective paint or stone chippings to protect the surface from UV degradation.
What to Expect
Asphalt installation typically takes 2 to 4 days, requiring specific curing time before heavy traffic access is permitted.
