What flat roof work do we do in Cheshunt?
Flat roof repairs
Landlords and managing agents in Cheshunt 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.
Extension and kitchen roofs
If you're fitting a new kitchen under an extension in Cheshunt, that's a good time to replace the roof. It makes sense to rebuild the roof before fitting new units, ceilings and lighting below, and the insulation upgrade makes the room more comfortable all year.
Liquid-applied roofing
Liquid roofing suits a roof in Cheshunt that is full of penetrations, such as soil pipes, vents, aerial brackets and rooflights, because the liquid flows around each one and cures into a single skin. There are no cut pieces or taped corners to work loose over time.
