What flat roof work do we do in Stalybridge?

Balconies and roof terraces

Settled, rocking or cracked paving is a common reason to re-waterproof a terrace in Stalybridge. 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.

Flat roof repairs

Older flat roofs in Stalybridge, as elsewhere, are often covered in felt that has lost its chippings and dried out. One leak on a roof like that is a warning sign. We repair it, check the rest of the covering and tell you honestly whether replacement belongs in next year's budget.

Warm roof insulation upgrades

Converting a garage, loft space or outbuilding to a room in Stalybridge changes what the roof needs to do. Once the space is heated, the roof is expected to perform to a higher standard, and a warm build-up is usually the simplest way to get there.
