What flat roof work do we do in Solihull?

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

A block roof in Solihull is a long-term asset, so we talk about whole-life cost as well as the price today. A longer-life system with corrected falls can mean fewer reactive repairs and fewer rounds of consultation over the years, and the survey explains the options in plain terms.

Liquid-applied roofing

If a flat roof in Solihull is ageing but still dry, firmly bonded and on a sound deck, a reinforced liquid system can be applied over it. That avoids the cost and mess of a full strip-out, provided the moisture and adhesion checks at survey show the existing roof is fit to build on.

Warm roof insulation upgrades

In a place like Solihull, homeowners usually think about insulation when the roof covering is worn out. That is the right moment, because the thermal rules normally apply to a replacement over a heated room, and adding insulation then costs far less than doing it separately later.
