What flat roof work do we do in Brighouse?

Single-ply membrane roofing

For a commercial roof in Brighouse with rooflights, plant and outlets, single-ply's welded details give a consistent finish. Pre-formed corners, membrane-coated trims and welded kerbs are all made in the same material as the main roof, which keeps the roof consistent and simplifies any future repairs.

GRP fibreglass roofing

If a flat roof in Brighouse has already been patched with fibreglass that keeps cracking, a full GRP replacement on a new, properly fixed deck often solves the problem. Cracks usually come from movement in the boards beneath, so renewing the deck and reinforcing the joints deals with the cause.

Balconies and roof terraces

Owners of flats in Brighouse sometimes find that a neighbour's balcony is leaking into their home. Where a balcony serves one flat but sits over another, the repair needs proper waterproofing and drainage, and a clear written specification helps everyone involved agree the work.

England averages roughly 870 mm of rain a year; the Pennine side of Yorkshire is wetter and windier than the east, so we specify for the site rather than the county. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Where approval is needed it goes to Calderdale Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
