What flat roof work do we do in Stroud?

Flat roof repairs

Landlords and managing agents in Stroud need a repair done properly once, rather than a quick fix that brings tenants back on the phone a month later. We trace the leak to its source and confirm the price in writing, so the repair can be approved and booked without guesswork.

Garage roofs

Many garages in Stroud still carry their original mineral felt, which may have been patched several times. Once the chippings have washed off and the laps have split, water gets under the felt and into the deck, and patches stop holding. At that stage a full replacement is the practical fix.

Balconies and roof terraces

Settled, rocking or cracked paving is a common reason to re-waterproof a terrace in Stroud. Slabs bedded directly on the membrane can damage it over time. Relaying them on adjustable pedestals protects the waterproofing and gives a level surface that drains underneath.

The South West averages roughly 1,260 mm of rain a year and many roofs face wind off the Atlantic, so we specify fixings and edge details for wind uplift as well as drainage.
