What flat roof work do we do in Ammanford?

Flat roof replacement

A mineral felt roof laid decades ago may still look intact from the ground in Ammanford, yet have lost its chippings, cracked at the laps and pulled away at the upstands. Those faults let water track under the covering, so by the time a ceiling stain appears, the deck has often been wet for some time.

Emergency leak repairs

Older felt roofs in Ammanford 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.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Ponding against the house wall is a common reason for replacing an extension roof in Ammanford. When the deck dips near the wall or the fall runs the wrong way, water sits against the abutment and eventually gets in. A new roof with corrected falls moves the water to the gutter.
