Flat Roof Refurbishment Service

Your roof can provide insulation, manage stormwater, support biodiversity and even generate energy. It's time to maximise its full potential.

Upgrade, protect and rethink.

Let's breathe new life into the buildings that already exist. 

By improving drainage, upgrading thermal performance and enhancing energy efficiency we can give the buildings that have upheld our communities another lease of life.  


And while we're at it, we'll help you to discover new ways to better utilise the roof space.

The future of roof refurbishment

Refurbishment 3D scan technology

With our state of the art advanced 3D laser scanning technology, we can assess fall direction, drainage issues, and slab tolerances with exceptional accuracy.

Efficient

3D deck scanning cuts survey times from hours to minutes, capturing millions of data points in one seamless sweep. It eliminates guesswork, cuts labour costs, and keeps teams safely off the roof.

Accurate

With precision down to a few millimetres, our technology exposes every dip and deviation invisible to the eye. These scans provide pinpoint accuracy and total confidence in every structural decision.

Intelligent

Insightful by design, 3D deck scanning reveals what the eye can’t see. Every scan delivers a deeper understanding of your roof’s condition, highlighting structural trends, drainage issues and areas for improvement.

Survey Technology

We use the latest in 3D scanning technology to create a detailed roof survey report to ascertain the condition and expected lifespan of the roof. This technology provides a rapid, precise measurement of roof geometry and drainage falls, and captures this data in just one visit.

The survey can typically include one or more of the following: core sampling, moisture map analysis, level survey analysis. thermographic imaging and drone survey.

Technical Design

Our in-house Design Team provides a project-specific bespoke design service, as well as a full suite of standard details.

Our design service includes, but is not limited to: design and technical calculations; U-Value calculations, tapered insulation design; wind loading calculations; rainwater drainage calculations.

(Axter's) attention to detail, starting from the design development phase through to planning and on-site execution, has always been impressive. What truly sets Axter apart is their unwavering focus on quality and reliability. While their comprehensive warranties offer great peace of mind, I have never had the need to call on them; a testament to the durability and excellence of their work.

Green Roof Systems

Our green roof systems are designed and engineered to accommodate the most varied ecological and environmental requirements and can be retrofit to an existing building.

Refurbishment and Sustainability

Roof refurbishment presents a critical opportunity to improve the environmental performance of existing buildings.

Refurbishing a roof enables significant thermal upgrades that can dramatically improve energy efficiency. With approximately 25% of a building’s heat loss occurring through the roof, refurbishment is one of the most effective strategies for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Our systems are designed to support the addition of sustainable technologies and systems to existing roofs, including:

  • Blue roofs for controlled stormwater management and climate resilience
  • Green roofs that enhance biodiversity, reduce urban heat island effects and extend waterproofing lifespan
  • Solar PV systems that generate clean, renewable energy and lower operational carbon

Whether you are targeting EPC improvements, regulatory compliance, or broader ESG goals, Axter’s refurbishment systems offer a practical, low-disruption route to reducing emissions and futureproofing your assets.
