What flat roof work do we do in Thornaby-on-Tees?

Commercial flat roofing

A commercial re-roof in Thornaby-on-Tees has to fit around customers, staff and deliveries. We agree working hours, skip positions and access routes before we start, keep fire exits clear throughout, and choose a flame-free system where your site does not allow hot works near stock or occupied rooms.

EPDM rubber roofing

For landlords with property in Thornaby-on-Tees, EPDM's low upkeep is the main draw: once the outlets are kept clear and the trims are checked once or twice a year, there is little else to do. It also goes down quickly on a small roof, which keeps disruption for tenants to a minimum.

Emergency leak repairs

Businesses in Thornaby-on-Tees can't trade properly with water dripping onto the shop floor or into an office. An emergency visit makes the roof temporarily weathertight, and the inspection that follows tells you whether a repair will hold or the roof needs replacing.
