Flat roofs
Most flat roofs fail for one of two reasons. Either the deck underneath has gone soft and nobody looked, or there is not enough fall on it so water sits in a puddle until it finds a way in. Laying a new covering over a wet deck buys you a year at best.
We lift the old covering, check the deck and replace the boards that need it, then set the falls properly before the new roof goes on. GRP, rubber or felt depending on the roof and how long you want it to last. Edge trims and outlets are done at the same time, because that is where most flat roofs let go.

New outlet and gutteringA good GRP or rubber roof should give you twenty years plus. Felt is cheaper and tends to be ten to fifteen. We will tell you what each one costs on your roof so you can decide.
Only if the deck underneath is sound and dry, and we check before we say yes. If it is soft, going over it just hides the problem and you pay twice.
GRP has a strong smell for a day while it cures, so we warn you first. Rubber and felt do not. Everything is cleared and taken away when we finish.
Either the falls were never set right or the deck has sagged. Standing water is not normal and it will find a way in eventually. It is fixable when the covering is replaced.
