In the news article released on 2nd May (read it here), they quoted MRA Research which showed that: “Almost half of the suppliers interviewed (49%) think Brexit will be either bad or very bad for the UK as a country, while 27% think the effect on the UK will be good or very good. Nearly one in five (18%) think it will have no impact. Many respondents commented separately that, although there may be a slight dip in the short term as a result of leaving, they thought there would be less of a negative impact in the longer term.”

With Permaroof themselves unaffected by Brexit, whatever the outcome, and more and more Peterborough customers approaching us for quotes to fit, replace or repair their roofs, we will continue to offer the same level of service to all our customers – whatever the final Brexit outcome.

Our Peterborough Flat Roofing Service

We love EPDM single ply membrane and the liquid rubber Permaroof500. Here’s a recap on why we’re passionate about this roofing system:

50 years+ life expectancy

Whatever the weather conditions, whether you risk heat wave or glacial temperatures – Firestone EPDM rubber is proven to last over 50 years. In fact the first Firestone roofs were laid in the 1980s – and show no sign of wear. With well known buildings such as Honda factories, McLaren and  CocaCola using EPDM – we’re confident that it’s the right solution for you.

Gives you curb appeal

EPDM synthetic rubber flat roofing looks natural and doesn’t show dirt or support support the growth of moss. A nice, smooth, clean finish that our customers just love.

Quality, quality, quality

Firestone Building Products follows stringent quality control guidelines to ensure each component of a Firestone Roofing or Lining System meets or exceeds industry standards. Firestone plants have achieved ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification, which are a testimony of the company’s commitment to quality and environmental management systems.

Good for the environment

Extremely eco-friendly materials all applied with little energy – both Government and the International Kyoto Ecology Agreement recommend EPDM rubber as best value sustainable eco-sound roofing.

Large-scale solar costs were examined in a workshop earlier this month by energy analysts and BEIS. Anticipated costs in 2014 were around £80MWh for 2019. New analysis has revealed that these expectations have been reduced – with LOCE (Levelised Cost of Electricity) now at an expected £50-£60MWh, which would make the UKs solar energy the cheapest technology.

The STA standpoint is now focussed on making the government, who closed down solar initiatives and excluded solar from clean energy auctions, realise the potential benefits of solar and its competitive position in the UKs energy marketplace. Experts insist that the analysis underlines the UKs potential for large-scale solar and the potential economic benefits.

The Chief Executive of the STA, Chris Hewett said, ‘We have a clear message for Government and corporate energy buyers today. UK Solar electricity is now cost-competitive with fossil fuels. By establishing the right policy framework for solar energy and storage, including expediting a smart, flexible energy system, government can enable this technology to realise its full potential in delivering an affordable, low-carbon future energy system.’

The STA has also released policy measures to encourage growth of the solar energy market and have three main aims-

• Introducing a technology-neutral price Contract for Difference auction
• Enacting network access and charging reforms to enable storage
• Providing a Climate Change Levy exemption for zero-carbon generation (through PPAs).

The Solar Trade Association (STA) has reiterated, through its report, that the UK has an increasing need for clean generation capacity and believes that this can truly support the drive to re-start previously halted projects across the country, in addition to improved efficiencies within the solar industry.
