What flat roof work do we do in Llantrisant?

Extension and kitchen roofs

Ponding against the house wall is a common reason for replacing an extension roof in Llantrisant. When the deck dips near the wall or the fall runs the wrong way, water sits against the abutment and eventually gets in. A new roof with corrected falls moves the water to the gutter.

Torch-on felt roofing

For a commercial roof in Llantrisant, such as a shop, surgery or club, torch-on felt offers a hard-wearing mineral finish that takes occasional maintenance traffic. Phased work keeps part of the building weathertight while the rest is re-roofed, so the business can usually keep trading.

Flat roof repairs

Older flat roofs in Llantrisant, as elsewhere, are often covered in felt that has lost its chippings and dried out. One leak on a roof like that is a warning sign. We repair it, check the rest of the covering and tell you honestly whether replacement belongs in next year's budget.

Local weather shapes the specification. Wales averages roughly 1,460 mm of rain a year, among the wettest in Britain, so we design for steady run-off: proper falls, clear outlets and upstands well above the finished roof.
