What flat roof work do we do in Wigston?

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Businesses in Wigston with a flat-roofed building can't plan maintenance around guesswork. A survey sets out what needs doing now, what can wait and roughly what each item will cost, so the work can be scheduled with as little disruption as possible.

Liquid-applied roofing

For businesses and landlords in Wigston, a cold-applied liquid roof means no flame on site and, with some systems, a short cure time. That can make it easier to work around occupied buildings, tenants and opening hours than a system that needs hot works or a long strip-out.

Commercial flat roofing

Owners and agents in Wigston can plan spending with a phased programme: urgent repairs now, then re-roofing section by section over one or more budget years. Each phase is priced separately in writing, and the survey and quote for replacement work are free, with no obligation to go ahead.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Wigston?

In a town like Wigston flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. Local weather shapes the specification. 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.
