What flat roof work do we do in Caldicot?

GRP fibreglass roofing

Some Caldicot homeowners pick GRP for appearance alone. The topcoat comes in several colours, the trims are moulded to match, and the finished roof looks tidy from upstairs windows. With good laying conditions and a sound deck, a GRP roof typically lasts 20 years or more.

Dormer roofs

High, exposed dormers in Caldicot take the full force of the wind and rain. Edge trims loosen, flashings lift and the felt at the drip edge cracks. Once the faults spread around the perimeter, a new roof with fresh trims usually lasts far longer than another round of repairs.

Flat roof repairs

Small businesses in Caldicot with a flat-roofed shop, office or unit can't leave a leak running over stock or equipment. A repair stops the water at its entry point, and our inspection tells you whether the rest of the roof needs attention soon or can safely be left for now.
