What flat roof work do we do in Long Eaton?

Commercial flat roofing

When a roof over heated space in Long Eaton is replaced, insulation rules usually apply. We design the warm-roof build-up towards the required standard where that is feasible and handle building control where it is needed, so the work is signed off properly and the building is better insulated afterwards.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Selling a house in Long Eaton 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.

Single-ply membrane roofing

Single-ply also works on an extension or garage in Long Eaton if you want a light, clean finish in a pale colour. On small roofs it is usually adhered, and while it can cost more than EPDM, it gives the same welded seams and details found on commercial roofs.

The East Midlands is drier than the west of Britain, so most flat roofs here fail through age, UV and poor detailing at upstands rather than sheer rainfall.
