What flat roof work do we do in Kippax?

Liquid-applied roofing

For businesses and landlords in Kippax, a cold-applied liquid roof means no flame on site and, with some systems, a short cure time. That can make it easier to work around occupied buildings, tenants and opening hours than a system that needs hot works or a long strip-out.

Commercial flat roofing

Safety planning matters on commercial sites in Kippax. Every job is planned under CDM, with a method statement, edge protection and covers over rooflights and fragile areas. If asbestos is found, a licensed specialist surveys and removes it before our work starts, so nobody is put at risk.

Single-ply membrane roofing

Single-ply often suits blocks and mixed-use buildings in Kippax because no flame is used on the roof, which can make work around residents and businesses easier to plan. Hot-air welding still needs care, but the fire risk is lower than with torch-on.
