What flat roof work do we do in Fareham?

Single-ply membrane roofing

Single-ply also works on an extension or garage in Fareham if you want a light, clean finish in a pale colour. On small roofs it is usually adhered, and while it can cost more than EPDM, it gives the same welded seams and details found on commercial roofs.

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

In Fareham, as elsewhere, people often book a survey after a repair that didn't hold. When a leak returns, it usually means the first fix treated the symptom rather than the cause. Tracing the actual entry point saves paying for the same repair twice.

Flat roof repairs

Landlords and managing agents in Fareham 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.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Fareham?

In a town like Fareham flat roofs are mostly on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. Local weather shapes the specification. Much of the South East sits in the drier Thames catchment at roughly 730 mm of rain a year, so the usual failures are at joints, upstands and outlets rather than from sheer volume of rain. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

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