What flat roof work do we do in Irvine?

GRP fibreglass roofing

GRP is a good fit in Irvine for roofs with awkward shapes, short runs of upstand and lots of corners, because every detail is laminated in place rather than cut and glued. Where a sheet membrane would need many joins, fibreglass forms one continuous skin across the whole roof.

Balconies and roof terraces

Door thresholds are a common reason for balcony work in Irvine. Where a door was fitted with a low step-out and no drainage channel, water driven against the frame finds its way under the sill. Re-waterproofing gives the chance to rebuild that detail properly.

Emergency leak repairs

In Irvine, 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.
