What flat roof work do we do in Sinfin?

Flat roof repairs

In a place like Sinfin, 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.

Torch-on felt roofing

Torch-on is a good fit in Sinfin when the budget matters but quality cannot slip. Modern polyester-reinforced membranes typically last 15 to 25 years, high-performance systems longer, and manufacturer material guarantees are available on many specified systems, registered where the system allows.

Liquid-applied roofing

Liquid roofing suits a roof in Sinfin that is full of penetrations, such as soil pipes, vents, aerial brackets and rooflights, because the liquid flows around each one and cures into a single skin. There are no cut pieces or taped corners to work loose over time.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Sinfin?

In a town like Sinfin flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. 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.
