What flat roof work do we do in Crowthorne?

Emergency leak repairs

Leaves and debris build up in outlets and gutters on flat roofs around Crowthorne, especially under trees. A blocked outlet can turn a normal rainstorm into a flood over the upstands. Clearing it is often part of the emergency visit, and the permanent fix looks at why it blocked.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Condensation drives some replacements in Crowthorne. Older extension roofs were often built cold, with insulation between the joists and no reliable vapour control. Warm air from the kitchen reaches the cold deck, moisture builds up and the timber suffers. A warm roof deals with the cause, not just the stain.

Flat roof repairs

In a place like Crowthorne, flat roofs usually sit over garages, rear extensions, dormers and bays, and they take the full force of the weather with little margin for error. A single failed lap or a cracked upstand is enough to let water into a kitchen, bedroom or hallway below.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Crowthorne?

In a town like Crowthorne flat roofs are mostly on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions and lock-up garage blocks on estates. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. Much of the South East sits in the drier Thames catchment at roughly 730 mm of rain a year, so the usual failures are at joints, upstands and outlets rather than from sheer volume of rain. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
