What flat roof work do we do in Bexhill-on-Sea?
Flat roof repairs
In a place like Bexhill-on-Sea, 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.
Green and sedum roofs
Rainwater from flat roofs in Bexhill-on-Sea runs off quickly in heavy showers. A green roof holds some of that water back and releases it more slowly, which is one reason some owners and developers choose one. The flowering sedum also draws in bees and other insects.
Dormer roofs
If your dormer in Bexhill-on-Sea was added years ago with a basic felt roof and little insulation, it will tend to fail at the edges first, and they leave the loft room cold in winter and hot in summer. A warm-roof replacement deals with both problems at once.
