What flat roof work do we do in Hoddesdon?

Balconies and roof terraces

Owners of flats in Hoddesdon sometimes find that a neighbour's balcony is leaking into their home. Where a balcony serves one flat but sits over another, the repair needs proper waterproofing and drainage, and a clear written specification helps everyone involved agree the work.

GRP fibreglass roofing

If a flat roof in Hoddesdon has already been patched with fibreglass that keeps cracking, a full GRP replacement on a new, properly fixed deck often solves the problem. Cracks usually come from movement in the boards beneath, so renewing the deck and reinforcing the joints deals with the cause.

Commercial flat roofing

Safety planning matters on commercial sites in Hoddesdon. 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.
