What flat roof work do we do in Cheadle Hulme?

Extension and kitchen roofs

Condensation drives some replacements in Cheadle Hulme. Older extension roofs were often built cold, with insulation between the joists and no reliable vapour control. Warm air from the kitchen reaches the cold deck, moisture builds up and the timber suffers. A warm roof deals with the cause, not just the stain.

Flat roof repairs

In a place like Cheadle Hulme, 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.

Flat roof replacement

Exposure matters too. Wind lifts tired edges, and repeated wetting and drying works at old joints, so roofs in exposed spots can wear faster than the same roof somewhere sheltered. Wherever your property is in Cheadle Hulme, a survey tells you whether the roof has years left or needs replacing now.
