What flat roof work do we do in Brynmawr?

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Businesses in Brynmawr with a flat-roofed building can't plan maintenance around guesswork. A survey sets out what needs doing now, what can wait and roughly what each item will cost, so the work can be scheduled with as little disruption as possible.

Garage roofs

Garage roofs in Brynmawr are often replaced when the deck gives way. Chipboard decks swell and soften once they get wet, and you may see sagging between joists or feel the roof flex underfoot. Replacing the deck and covering together is usually more economical than repeated repairs.

Single-ply membrane roofing

Single-ply also works on an extension or garage in Brynmawr if you want a light, clean finish in a pale colour. On small roofs it is usually adhered, and while it can cost more than EPDM, it gives the same welded seams and details found on commercial roofs.
