What flat roof work do we do in Irlam?

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Landlords and managing agents in Irlam often need a written record of a roof's condition, for budgeting, for leaseholders, or to show a problem has been looked at properly. A survey report gives them a clear basis for deciding when to repair and when to replace.

Torch-on felt roofing

Torch-on felt suits property owners in Irlam who want a dependable, layered roof without paying the top price per square metre. With two or three bonded layers, a single small defect in one sheet need not lead to a leak, which is a real advantage on larger roofs that are hard to inspect often.

Single-ply membrane roofing

If a flat roof in Irlam has poor falls and ponding, a single-ply re-roof with tapered insulation can correct both problems at once. The tapered boards build the fall into the insulation, and the membrane is laid over the top, with outlets set at the new low points.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Irlam?

In a town like Irlam flat roofs are mostly on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. The North West is one of England's wetter regions, averaging roughly 1,290 mm of rain a year, so falls, outlets and well-detailed upstands matter more than the membrane colour. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Where approval is needed it goes to Salford City Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
