What flat roof work do we do in Thornton-Cleveleys?

Extension and kitchen roofs

Selling a house in Thornton-Cleveleys with a tired extension roof can raise questions in the buyer's survey. A recent replacement, with building control sign-off where needed and written guarantees, gives a buyer confidence and removes a likely point of negotiation.

Flat roof replacement

A mineral felt roof laid decades ago may still look intact from the ground in Thornton-Cleveleys, yet have lost its chippings, cracked at the laps and pulled away at the upstands. Those faults let water track under the covering, so by the time a ceiling stain appears, the deck has often been wet for some time.

Emergency leak repairs

Businesses in Thornton-Cleveleys can't trade properly with water dripping onto the shop floor or into an office. An emergency visit makes the roof temporarily weathertight, and the inspection that follows tells you whether a repair will hold or the roof needs replacing.
