What flat roof work do we do in Magherafelt?

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

Service charge budgets for blocks in Magherafelt do not always stretch to a whole roof at once. We can phase a re-roof over more than one budget year, pricing each phase separately in writing and keeping every section watertight in between, so the building stays protected while the cost is spread.

Liquid-applied roofing

For businesses and landlords in Magherafelt, a cold-applied liquid roof means no flame on site and, with some systems, a short cure time. That can make it easier to work around occupied buildings, tenants and opening hours than a system that needs hot works or a long strip-out.

Emergency leak repairs

Leaves and debris build up in outlets and gutters on flat roofs around Magherafelt, 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.

Northern Ireland averages roughly 1,150 mm of rain a year, spread over many wet days, so a roof that sheds water quickly to clear outlets lasts far longer than one that holds puddles.
