What flat roof work do we do in Erskine?

GRP fibreglass roofing

Landlords and small businesses in Erskine often favour GRP on roofs that contractors need to access for plant, aerials or gutter clearance. The surface resists scuffs better than a soft membrane, and small damage can usually be ground back and re-laminated without disturbing the rest of the roof.

Flat roof repairs

In a place like Erskine, flat roofs usually sit over garages, rear extensions, dormers and bays, and they take the full force of the weather with little margin for error. A single failed lap or a cracked upstand is enough to let water into a kitchen, bedroom or hallway below.

Dormer roofs

A dormer roof that has been patched several times in Erskine 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.
