What flat roof work do we do in Mansfield Woodhouse?

Dormer roofs

A dormer roof that has been patched several times in Mansfield Woodhouse often has layers of old repairs that hide the real fault. Stripping back to the deck shows what has been going on, and lets the team rebuild the back-edge abutment properly rather than sealing over it again.

Single-ply membrane roofing

Single-ply also works on an extension or garage in Mansfield Woodhouse if you want a light, clean finish in a pale colour. On small roofs it is usually adhered, and while it can cost more than EPDM, it gives the same welded seams and details found on commercial roofs.

Warm roof insulation upgrades

Many flat-roofed extensions and dormers in Mansfield Woodhouse were built with little or no insulation, or with a cold roof that was never properly ventilated. Those rooms are often hard to heat in winter and can suffer condensation, mould and, in time, a rotten deck.
