What flat roof work do we do in Ossett?

Single-ply membrane roofing

For a commercial roof in Ossett 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.

Liquid-applied roofing

Choose liquid roofing in Ossett when the shape of the roof makes sheet materials awkward: curved edges, small dormers with many corners, or a mix of levels joined by short upstands. Each detail is reinforced in the same material as the main area, so the whole roof is continuous.

Garage roofs

Garage roofs in Ossett take the weather head-on, often with no shelter from surrounding buildings. Wind lifts loose edge trims, frost works at cracked felt, and leaves block small gutters. When several of these faults appear together, a new roof with fresh edges is usually better value than chasing each one.
