What flat roof work do we do in Bargoed?
Green and sedum roofs
Rainwater from flat roofs in Bargoed runs off quickly in heavy showers. A green roof holds some of that water back and releases it more slowly, which is one reason some owners and developers choose one. The flowering sedum also draws in bees and other insects.
Flat roof repairs
Small businesses in Bargoed with a flat-roofed shop, office or unit can't leave a leak running over stock or equipment. A repair stops the water at its entry point, and our inspection tells you whether the rest of the roof needs attention soon or can safely be left for now.
Emergency leak repairs
Flat roofs in Bargoed, as elsewhere, often fail during the first heavy storm of autumn or after a hard frost, when an old seam finally opens. That is often when people find water running down a wall or through a light fitting, and a temporary repair is needed quickly.
