How QuickTrim prolongs the life of your flat roof – and helps you avoid costly callbacks

The little details can make all the difference – especially when it comes to roofing trim edging.

If you’re a roofing contractor, you’ve likely dealt with products that promised the earth, only to crack under pressure (literally). Poor quality rubber roof trims, awkward to fit and quick to weather, have caused more than a few headaches. And when you get called back to a job because of a failing edge trim? That’s not just frustrating – it costs time, money, and your reputation.

Inferior roof trims are causing big problems

Many installers have been stung by trims that look the part on day one but start to show wear just a few months later. UV damage, water ingress, tricky corners that just won’t sit right – sound familiar?

The result? Costly replacements, awkward return visits, unhappy customers, and wasted time you can’t afford to lose.

You needed a trim solution that could stand the test of time – and the unpredictable British weather.

Plytech steps in with a better solution

At Plytech, we’ve spent over 30 years working alongside the trade. We understand what really matters to contractors – reliability, ease, speed, and results that last.
That’s exactly why we introduced QuickTrim, our trusted flat roof edging system. Originally designed in 1999 by our founder, Eddie Norris, QuickTrim has been quietly revolutionising flat roof finishes ever since. Made here in the UK, the same robust, intelligent design is still in use today – and still doing the job brilliantly.

Common mistakes to avoid

Even with an advanced system like Plytech’s QuickTrim, errors can still occur. Here are some common mistakes to watch out for:

Inaccurate measurements
Always double-check measurements before cutting to ensure a precise fit.

Improper fixing
Over-tightening screws can crack or distort the trim, while under-tightening can lead to instability.

Ignoring sealant application
Skipping the sealing process where needed can lead to water ingress and long-term damage.

Poor alignment
Misaligned trims affect both appearance and functionality, QuickTrim’s interlocking system helps prevent this issue.

Not allowing for expansion and contraction
Some materials expand and contract with temperature changes, so consider this when fitting trims.
