Aaron's Hill — Local Housing and Roofing Conditions

The original 1950s housing uses concrete interlocking tiles matching the Binscombe specification — the same era, same builder, same materials. After 70 years, these roofs are in the same condition as their Binscombe counterparts: surface erosion, frost damage, and degraded battens beneath. The newer Ockford Park development by Cala Homes uses modern materials that will not need attention for decades, but the surrounding 1950s stock is firmly in the replacement zone.

Weather and Environmental Factors in Aaron's Hill

The western edge of Aaron's Hill faces the prevailing south-westerly weather with minimal shelter. Properties along Halfway Lane see more wind-driven rain than the Binscombe estate to the north, which has some protection from Farncombe Hill. This exposure means the weather-facing elevations deteriorate faster and need more frequent attention than the sheltered sides.

Our Flat Roofing Inspection Process

Flat roof surveys reveal what pitched roof surveys cannot — the condition of the deck beneath the waterproof membrane. We cut a test section (approximately 300mm square) of the existing covering to inspect the timber deck directly, checking for rot, delamination and structural integrity. This test cut is essential because a deck that looks sound from above can be severely compromised beneath a membrane that appears intact. If the deck is sound, we repair the test section as part of the new installation. If it reveals problems, you know before committing to the full project rather than discovering rotten timbers after the old roof has been stripped.

Materials We Use for Flat Roofing in Aaron's Hill

We install two flat roofing systems: GRP fibreglass for areas under 30 square metres (garages, porches, small extensions) and EPDM rubber for larger areas. Both are single-ply systems that eliminate the joints and laps where traditional felt roofs fail. Our GRP specification uses Scott Bader Crystic resin with minimum 450gsm chopped strand mat, built up in controlled layers with a UV-resistant topcoat. Our EPDM specification uses Firestone RubberCover or ClassicBond membrane bonded to the deck with full contact adhesive and mechanically fixed perimeter details. Both systems carry manufacturer warranties of 20-30 years in addition to our 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Local Tip for Aaron's Hill Homeowners

When quoting for Aaron's Hill properties, we always check both the weather-facing and sheltered elevations separately. It is common to find one side of a roof needing full replacement while the other has another 10-15 years of life. A partial re-roof addressing only the damaged elevation can save 40-50% compared to a full strip and re-tile.
