What flat roof work do we do in Tiverton?

Emergency leak repairs

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

Extension and kitchen roofs

If you're fitting a new kitchen under an extension in Tiverton, that's a good time to replace the roof. It makes sense to rebuild the roof before fitting new units, ceilings and lighting below, and the insulation upgrade makes the room more comfortable all year.

Balconies and roof terraces

Door thresholds are a common reason for balcony work in Tiverton. Where a door was fitted with a low step-out and no drainage channel, water driven against the frame finds its way under the sill. Re-waterproofing gives the chance to rebuild that detail properly.
