Since its inception in 1985, the company has grown steadily, and after franchising its operations in 1991 now has more than 20 franchisees nationwide.

The secret to the Flat Roof Company's competitive advantage is its unique approach to the well-known problems of a flat roof. The company's innovative roofing process, which has featured on popular home makeover show 'Property Ladder', comes with a 25-year guarantee.

Company Founder Kevin Moody has ambitious plans for the franchise network: "Running a successful business for 21 years is a great achievement especially in the building trade, and we owe a lot of our success to the hard work and enthusiasm of our franchisees. We are looking forward to developing our network over the coming years and fully intend to be celebrating out 50,000th roof some time soon"
