What flat roof work do we do in Gelligaer?

Flat roof replacement

A flat roof in Gelligaer is often worth replacing because it is the weak point of the building: heat escapes through an uninsulated deck, rooms below are cold in winter and hot in summer, and condensation marks the ceiling. A warm-roof replacement deals with comfort as well as leaks, so it is worth considering before the roof fails outright.

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

Leaseholders in Gelligaer want to see where their money goes. Our itemised quotes show each element of the job separately, including scaffold, insulation and provisional sums for hidden defects, which makes them easier to share and compare when the freeholder or agent is consulting on the work.

EPDM rubber roofing

Rubber is a sensible pick in Gelligaer where a roof sits close to bedrooms or a kitchen and you would rather avoid hot works. It suits porches, bays and dormers too, where the small area means a single sheet can cover the whole roof with no joins at all.
