What flat roof work do we do in Newport Pagnell?

Emergency leak repairs

Older felt roofs in Newport Pagnell that have lost their chippings dry out and crack, and a cold snap can open those cracks enough to let water through. A temporary repair stops the immediate leak, but a roof like that often needs a frank conversation about replacement.

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Older extensions and garages in Newport Pagnell frequently have felt roofs that have been patched several times. Before paying for another repair, many owners want to know whether the roof has much life left. That is exactly the question a condition survey answers.

Torch-on felt roofing

For a commercial roof in Newport Pagnell, such as a shop, surgery or club, torch-on felt offers a hard-wearing mineral finish that takes occasional maintenance traffic. Phased work keeps part of the building weathertight while the rest is re-roofed, so the business can usually keep trading.

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.
