Cool roof coatings — high-albedo acrylic and silicone systems — reflect solar heat and can drop loft and top-floor room temperatures by 5–10°C in summer. For Kidlington flat roofs (EPDM, felt, GRP, asphalt) they also extend the existing covering's life by 10–15 years at a fraction of the cost of full replacement. Particularly suited to south-facing extensions and dormers.
Does cool roof coating in Kidlington actually work in UK summers?
Yes — measurable indoor temperature drops, particularly on south-facing flat roofs. The benefit is smaller than in Mediterranean climates but real.
10–15 years for premium silicone systems; 8–10 for acrylic. Recoat is typically cheaper than first application.
Can it fix a leaking roof?
Coatings bridge minor cracks but cannot fix structural issues, failed seams or rotten deck. We survey first and quote repair + coat together where needed.
