What flat roof work do we do in Hinckley?

EPDM rubber roofing

For landlords with property in Hinckley, 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.

Balconies and roof terraces

Balconies in Hinckley are often re-waterproofed when the ceiling below starts to stain. On many older balconies, the membrane was laid under tiles or screed with no way to inspect it, so by the time the leak appears, water may have been tracking under the surface for a long time.

Commercial flat roofing

Safety planning matters on commercial sites in Hinckley. 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 Hinckley?

In a large town like Hinckley flat roofs are mostly on low-rise post-war blocks of flats and 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches. The climate is part of the brief. The East Midlands is drier than the west of Britain, so most flat roofs here fail through age, UV and poor detailing at upstands rather than sheer rainfall. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
