What flat roof work do we do in Donaghadee?

Extension and kitchen roofs

Selling a house in Donaghadee with a tired extension roof can raise questions in the buyer's survey. A recent replacement, with building control sign-off where needed and written guarantees, gives a buyer confidence and removes a likely point of negotiation.

GRP fibreglass roofing

Landlords and small businesses in Donaghadee often favour GRP on roofs that contractors need to access for plant, aerials or gutter clearance. The surface resists scuffs better than a soft membrane, and small damage can usually be ground back and re-laminated without disturbing the rest of the roof.

Emergency leak repairs

Leaves and debris build up in outlets and gutters on flat roofs around Donaghadee, especially under trees. A blocked outlet can turn a normal rainstorm into a flood over the upstands. Clearing it is often part of the emergency visit, and the permanent fix looks at why it blocked.
