Roof types we work on
Built for the roofs you actually find in Stockport.
Every job is different. These are the roof types and situations we deal with most often for flat roofs.
Extension roofs
Single-storey rear and side extensions, the most common flat roof we replace across Stockport.
Garage roofs
Detached and attached garages, often overdue a replacement after decades of felt.
Dormer roofs
Small, exposed roofs on loft conversions that need careful detailing at the edges.
Porch and bay roofs
Compact roofs where the junction with the house wall matters most.
Balconies and terraces
Walk-on flat roofs with the right membrane and surface finish.
Commercial flat roofs
Larger areas on shops, offices and units, with outlets and upstands detailed properly.
Types of work
From a single repair to the full job.
We will always tell you the smallest job that properly fixes the problem.
Full replacement
Old covering and decking stripped, new boards, insulation and membrane installed.
Overlay
Where the deck is sound, a new system installed over the existing roof.
Warm roof upgrade
Insulation above the deck to meet current building regulations and cut heat loss.
Patch repairs
Splits, blisters and failed joints repaired to extend the life of the roof.
Ponding correction
Firrings and falls adjusted so water actually drains to the outlet.
Roof lights
Flat roof lights and lanterns installed with correct upstands and flashings.
