What flat roof work do we do in Kingston upon Hull?

Flat roof repairs

Buying or selling a property in Kingston upon Hull with a tired flat roof? A surveyor's report may flag damp, blistering or ponding. A targeted repair can deal with an isolated defect, and where the roof is near the end of its life we will explain that clearly so the cost can be planned.

EPDM rubber roofing

EPDM makes sense for a property in Kingston upon Hull when the roof is a straightforward shape, such as a garage or rear extension, and nobody needs to walk on it. A single sheet leaves few joins to fail, and because it is cold-applied there is no naked flame near timber fascias or a lived-in home.

Flat roof replacement

Flat roofs in Kingston upon Hull get replaced for the same reasons as anywhere else: the covering has reached the end of its service life, leaks keep returning after repairs, or water ponds because the deck has sagged. Once the boards are soft or the insulation is wet, a full strip usually costs less than another round of patching.
