What flat roof work do we do in Newark-on-Trent?

Single-ply membrane roofing

Single-ply also works on an extension or garage in Newark-on-Trent 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.

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Landlords and managing agents in Newark-on-Trent often need a written record of a roof's condition, for budgeting, for leaseholders, or to show a problem has been looked at properly. A survey report gives them a clear basis for deciding when to repair and when to replace.

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

Fire performance matters near boundaries and on occupied buildings in Newark-on-Trent.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Newark-on-Trent?

In a town like Newark-on-Trent flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. The East Midlands is drier than the west of Britain, so most flat roofs here fail through age, UV and poor detailing at upstands rather than sheer rainfall.
