What flat roof work do we do in Bushey?

EPDM rubber roofing

For landlords with property in Bushey, EPDM's low upkeep is the main draw: once the outlets are kept clear and the trims are checked once or twice a year, there is little else to do. It also goes down quickly on a small roof, which keeps disruption for tenants to a minimum.

Commercial flat roofing

Safety planning matters on commercial sites in Bushey. Every job is planned under CDM, with a method statement, edge protection and covers over rooflights and fragile areas. If asbestos is found, a licensed specialist surveys and removes it before our work starts, so nobody is put at risk.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Bushey?

In a town like Bushey flat roofs are mostly on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and lock-up garage blocks on estates. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. The East of England is the driest part of Britain, with parts of the Anglian region around 630 mm a year, so summer heat and UV, not rainfall, do most of the ageing on a felt roof. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

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