What flat roof work do we do in Rhymney?

Commercial flat roofing

Businesses in Rhymney need a roofing contractor who arrives with a plan, not just a price. We put the system, build-up, phasing, access and payment terms in a fixed written quote, and keep each section of the roof watertight before the team leaves site, so trading is not put at risk.

GRP fibreglass roofing

GRP is a good choice in Rhymney when the roof will be seen or used: a dormer visible from the street, an extension overlooked by upstairs windows, or a roof that needs access for cleaning or maintenance. The hard, jointless finish and moulded trims give a neat result that copes with occasional foot traffic.

Balconies and roof terraces

A roof terrace in Rhymney may be re-waterproofed when the owners want to change the finish, swapping old tiles for decking or porcelain on pedestals. Lifting the surface exposes the membrane, and replacing it then avoids having to lift the new finish again later.
