What flat roof work do we do in Sleaford?

Flat roof repairs

Buying or selling a property in Sleaford with a tired flat roof? A surveyor's report may flag damp, blistering or ponding. A targeted repair can deal with an isolated defect, and where the roof is near the end of its life we will explain that clearly so the cost can be planned.

EPDM rubber roofing

Where an older flat roof in Sleaford has a sound structure but a tired covering, EPDM is a straightforward upgrade: strip, check the deck, add a warm-roof build-up if the room below is heated, and bond the new membrane. It also makes a good base for a sedum green roof.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Rooflights fitted after the roof was built are a frequent source of trouble in Sleaford extensions. If the kerb was not formed properly or the membrane was simply sealed around the frame, leaks follow. Replacing the roof is the chance to rebuild every upstand to a proper standard.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Sleaford?

In a town like Sleaford flat roofs are mostly on lock-up garage blocks on estates and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. 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.
