What flat roof work do we do in Stretford?
Emergency leak repairs
Businesses in Stretford can't trade properly with water dripping onto the shop floor or into an office. An emergency visit makes the roof temporarily weathertight, and the inspection that follows tells you whether a repair will hold or the roof needs replacing.
Garage roofs
Water from a failing garage roof in Stretford does not always stay in the garage. On an attached garage it can run down the house wall or track under the flashing, and a blocked or broken gutter can spill onto the drive or a neighbour's property. Replacing the roof deals with the source.
Torch-on felt roofing
Where a flat roof in Stretford already has a felt covering and the building owner wants like-for-like, torch-on is the natural replacement. The old roof is stripped, the deck checked and the new layers laid, often with warm-roof insulation added when the space below is heated.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Stretford?
In a town like Stretford flat roofs are mostly on lock-up garage blocks on estates and 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. Local weather shapes the specification. 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.
Who approves flat roof work in Stretford?
Where approval is needed it goes to Trafford Council building control, or a registered building control approver. Replacing more than half of a roof over a heated room usually counts as renovating a thermal element, so it is insulated to current standards and notified to building control. How the rules work.
