What flat roof work do we do in Burnham-on-Sea?

Garage roofs

Garage roofs in Burnham-on-Sea are often replaced when the deck gives way. Chipboard decks swell and soften once they get wet, and you may see sagging between joists or feel the roof flex underfoot. Replacing the deck and covering together is usually more economical than repeated repairs.

Flat roof repairs

Landlords and managing agents in Burnham-on-Sea need a repair done properly once, rather than a quick fix that brings tenants back on the phone a month later. We trace the leak to its source and confirm the price in writing, so the repair can be approved and booked without guesswork.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Ponding against the house wall is a common reason for replacing an extension roof in Burnham-on-Sea. 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.
