What flat roof work do we do in Wath upon Dearne?
Flat roof repairs
Flat roofs in Wath upon Dearne face the same enemies as anywhere else: rain driven against walls, leaves blocking outlets, sun drying out older felt and frost opening small cracks. People tend to notice when a stain appears on a ceiling after a storm, or when water is still sitting on the roof days after rain.
Balconies and roof terraces
A roof terrace in Wath upon Dearne may be re-waterproofed when the owners want to change the finish, swapping old tiles for decking or porcelain on pedestals. Lifting the surface exposes the membrane, and replacing it then avoids having to lift the new finish again later.
Commercial flat roofing
When a roof over heated space in Wath upon Dearne is replaced, insulation rules usually apply. We design the warm-roof build-up towards the required standard where that is feasible and handle building control where it is needed, so the work is signed off properly and the building is better insulated afterwards.
