What flat roof work do we do in Hayling Island?

Dormer roofs

A dormer roof that has been patched several times in Hayling Island often has layers of old repairs that hide the real fault. Stripping back to the deck shows what has been going on, and lets the team rebuild the back-edge abutment properly rather than sealing over it again.

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

Service charge budgets for blocks in Hayling Island do not always stretch to a whole roof at once. We can phase a re-roof over more than one budget year, pricing each phase separately in writing and keeping every section watertight in between, so the building stays protected while the cost is spread.

Liquid-applied roofing

Choose liquid roofing in Hayling Island when the shape of the roof makes sheet materials awkward: curved edges, small dormers with many corners, or a mix of levels joined by short upstands. Each detail is reinforced in the same material as the main area, so the whole roof is continuous.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Hayling Island?

In a town like Hayling Island flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. Weather matters on a flat roof. 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.
