What flat roof work do we do in Camborne?

Businesses in Camborne with a flat-roofed building can't plan maintenance around guesswork. A survey sets out what needs doing now, what can wait and roughly what each item will cost, so the work can be scheduled with as little disruption as possible.

Flat roof repairs

Flat roofs in Camborne face the same enemies as anywhere else: rain driven against walls, leaves blocking outlets, sun drying out older felt and frost opening small cracks. People tend to notice when a stain appears on a ceiling after a storm, or when water is still sitting on the roof days after rain.

Green and sedum roofs

Garden rooms and outbuildings in Camborne, as elsewhere, often have small flat roofs that are seen from the house and garden. A sedum finish helps them blend in, provided the structure is strong enough and the roof underneath is built properly.
