What flat roof work do we do in Viewpark?

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Businesses in Viewpark with a flat-roofed building can't plan maintenance around guesswork. A survey sets out what needs doing now, what can wait and roughly what each item will cost, so the work can be scheduled with as little disruption as possible.

Single-ply membrane roofing

If a flat roof in Viewpark has poor falls and ponding, a single-ply re-roof with tapered insulation can correct both problems at once. The tapered boards build the fall into the insulation, and the membrane is laid over the top, with outlets set at the new low points.

Dormer roofs

Buyers' surveys in Viewpark often flag dormer roofs, because they are hard to see from the ground and easy to neglect. A recent replacement, with building warrant completion where needed and written guarantees, answers that question before it becomes a problem in the sale.
