What flat roof work do we do in Neath?

GRP fibreglass roofing

Landlords and small businesses in Neath often favour GRP on roofs that contractors need to access for plant, aerials or gutter clearance. The surface resists scuffs better than a soft membrane, and small damage can usually be ground back and re-laminated without disturbing the rest of the roof.

Emergency leak repairs

In Neath, as elsewhere, many flat roofs sit over rooms that matter: kitchens, bedrooms, shops and offices. A sudden leak can damage ceilings, flooring and stock within hours, which is why getting the roof temporarily weathertight comes first and the permanent fix follows.

Torch-on felt roofing

Torch-on felt suits property owners in Neath who want a dependable, layered roof without paying the top price per square metre. With two or three bonded layers, a single small defect in one sheet need not lead to a leak, which is a real advantage on larger roofs that are hard to inspect often.
