What flat roof work do we do in Borehamwood?

Balconies and roof terraces

Door thresholds are a common reason for balcony work in Borehamwood. Where a door was fitted with a low step-out and no drainage channel, water driven against the frame finds its way under the sill. Re-waterproofing gives the chance to rebuild that detail properly.

Flat roof repairs

Landlords and managing agents in Borehamwood 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.
