The drop-down menu at the side will link to a number of detailed ICOPAL broshures. These are in a PDF format so if you do not have the Adobe PDF reader, please click here for the free installation. Below is a brief explanation of the more popular materials that we install. All these materials are independently guaranteed and backed by a Lloyds insured policy.

High Tensile Felt Roofing
 Essentially this looks like the traditional “felt roof” but is incredibly  durable. Unlike traditional  felt, High Tensile (sometimes called elostomeric) will stretch and form with your roof. This is important as roofs tend to expand and contract with weather changes.

Over the years traditional felts tear and leak. Built up felt roofing is one of our specialities . We will gladly spend as much time as you like explaining the different options and pricing. Of course our recommendations very much depend on the individual roof.

ICOPAL Liquid Parathane
Very popular in Europe and The USA, Parathane is used in refurbishment as an overlay to existing roofs. Parathane systems comprise of multiple layers of polyurethane resin laid on a primed substrate. This system provides seamless protection  that can normally be applied over the existing roof without the need for stripping. It is ideal for difficult roofs and details as well as roofs with plant and equipment. It has an exceptionally long life expectancy.

Due to its very specific procedure for installation, personnel are required to pass a highly intense training program. All finished roofs are inspected by a surveyor from tICOPAL before the Lloyds insured guarantee can be issued. Due to such tight controls most companies prefer using the easier to use low performance materials. Sunrise Roofing is one of the very few licensed installers in the UK. There are many manufactures with temporary liquid systems, this is the only Lloyds backed permanent system.  Parathane is guaranteed for 20 years but can last over 50 , that’s 3 times longer than conventional roofs

Insulation and Vapor Control
It is probably accurate to say that the vast majority of leaks are caused by incorrect procedures and systems. One essential ingredient in laying a roof correctly is vapor control. Allowing a roof to breath allows for expansion and contraction. If this vital system is

left out or laid incorrectly, the roofs life is dramatically shortened. Unfortunately this is a “Cowboy’s” favourite shortcut.
Depending on your roof, the insulation can also play a vital role in weather proofing.

Tile, Lead, Asphalt & Trim
A roof is most likely to leak from its weakest point. Quite often this will be where different rooling types meet, such as tile or lead flashings. We prefer to handle these “meeting spaces” ourselves.

There is nothing worse than a tiler blaming a bricky who is trying to blame the apshalter who thinks its the leadwork! When you spend good money on a roof the last thing you need is a load of contractors arguing about whose fault it is. At Sunrise we think it’s better for us to take full responsibility. Besides we give a minimum 10-Year guarantee on all our work including Asphalting, Tiling and Lead Work.
