What flat roof work do we do in Heswall?

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

Leaseholders in Heswall want to see where their money goes. Our itemised quotes show each element of the job separately, including scaffold, insulation and provisional sums for hidden defects, which makes them easier to share and compare when the freeholder or agent is consulting on the work.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Rooflights fitted after the roof was built are a frequent source of trouble in Heswall 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.

EPDM rubber roofing

If your Heswall roof has been patched more than once and the felt is cracking or blistering, a full replacement in EPDM can be better value than another repair. The rubber stays flexible through hot summers and freezing nights, and the replacement is the right point to bring the insulation up to standard.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Heswall?

In a town like Heswall flat roofs are mostly on lock-up garage blocks on estates and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. Weather matters on a flat roof. The North West is one of England's wetter regions, averaging roughly 1,290 mm of rain a year, so falls, outlets and well-detailed upstands matter more than the membrane colour. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Where approval is needed it goes to Wirral Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
