What flat roof work do we do in Pudsey?

GRP fibreglass roofing

If a flat roof in Pudsey 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.

Warm roof insulation upgrades

Small commercial buildings in Pudsey with large flat roofs can lose a lot of heat through them. Where the roof is being replaced, upgrading the insulation at the same time is required in most cases and helps reduce running costs for the occupier.

EPDM rubber roofing

If your Pudsey roof has been patched more than once and the felt is cracking or blistering, a full replacement in EPDM can be better value than another repair. The rubber stays flexible through hot summers and freezing nights, and the replacement is the right point to bring the insulation up to standard.

In a town like Pudsey flat roofs are mostly on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. Local weather shapes the specification. 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.
