Refurbishment
Upgrade, protect and rethink; breathe new life into your roof.
Refurbishment and Retrofit
A modern flat roof isn’t just waterproof; it can provide insulation, manage stormwater, support biodiversity and even generate energy. Axter's refurbishment offering is about going beyond what’s necessary. We want to maximise the full potential of the roof.
Refurb projects will become a huge part of our sustainability pathway, as we shift the focus towards maintaining and protecting what already exists in this world.
It’s time to give the buildings that are so central to our communities a new lease of life. Instead of only stepping in and refurbishing roofs when they need repairing, or worse, when they have already failed and leaked, let’s upgrade them with modern and sustainable methods before they get to that point.
Upgrade, protect and rethink.
Let's breathe new life into the buildings that already exist. We'll help you to discover new ways to better utilise the roof space...
- Improve drainage
- Upgrade thermal performance
- Enhance energy efficiency
- Lean energy generation with Solar PV
- Create a space for biodiversity within cities
- Supports achieving Net Zero for housing stock

Concept Design
A Technical Sales Manager will be assigned to your project, becoming the single point of contact for your full project cycle. They will work collaboratively with all parties involved to ensure all construction implications (including budget and compliance) and appropriate sequence of works have been considered.
Our technical service includes: honest, expert advice; NBS specifications; BIM objects; and detail drawings.
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.
Building Performance
We determine the existing performance of your roof and provide a full assessment for upgrade.
This typically includes: U-Value, drainage and wind uplift calculations; and a tapered design to improve drainage falls.

Roof Refurbishment CPD
Often, it is only when a roof leaks or fails that we truly appreciate its value, as the effects can be devastating. This CPD aims to deliver in a brief narrative form a synopsis of how to go about maintaining, repairing and/or refurbishing a flat roof system in order to achieve best value and protect the building asset.
