What flat roof work do we do in Sutton in Ashfield?

Balconies and roof terraces

Balconies in Sutton in Ashfield are often re-waterproofed when the ceiling below starts to stain. On many older balconies, the membrane was laid under tiles or screed with no way to inspect it, so by the time the leak appears, water may have been tracking under the surface for a long time.

EPDM rubber roofing

For landlords with property in Sutton in Ashfield, 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.

GRP fibreglass roofing

GRP is a good fit in Sutton in Ashfield for roofs with awkward shapes, short runs of upstand and lots of corners, because every detail is laminated in place rather than cut and glued. Where a sheet membrane would need many joins, fibreglass forms one continuous skin across the whole roof.
