What flat roof work do we do in Ellesmere Port?
Single-ply membrane roofing
Single-ply is a common choice for medium and large flat roofs in Ellesmere Port because it covers big areas quickly, is light on the structure and has a long typical life. Wide rolls mean fewer seams, and those seams are welded and probed rather than glued.
Flat roof repairs
In a place like Ellesmere Port, flat roofs usually sit over garages, rear extensions, dormers and bays, and they take the full force of the weather with little margin for error. A single failed lap or a cracked upstand is enough to let water into a kitchen, bedroom or hallway below.
Warm roof insulation upgrades
In a place like Ellesmere Port, homeowners usually think about insulation when the roof covering is worn out. That is the right moment, because the thermal rules normally apply to a replacement over a heated room, and adding insulation then costs far less than doing it separately later.
