What flat roof work do we do in Kilwinning?
Flats, HMOs and block roofs
Service charge budgets for blocks in Kilwinning do not always stretch to a whole roof at once. We can phase a re-roof over more than one budget year, pricing each phase separately in writing and keeping every section watertight in between, so the building stays protected while the cost is spread.
Garage roofs
Garage roofs in Kilwinning are often replaced when the deck gives way. Chipboard decks swell and soften once they get wet, and you may see sagging between joists or feel the roof flex underfoot. Replacing the deck and covering together is usually more economical than repeated repairs.
Commercial flat roofing
Owners and agents in Kilwinning can plan spending with a phased programme: urgent repairs now, then re-roofing section by section over one or more budget years. Each phase is priced separately in writing, and the survey and quote for replacement work are free, with no obligation to go ahead.
