Burnley Flat Roofs — Retired Homeowners

Retired homeowners have usually lived in the property for decades — the priority is to keep the roof they know, not to be talked into a new one.

The flat roofs work itself

Most failed flat roofs were never installed properly in the first place — wrong falls, badly bonded laps, no upstands. We strip back to the deck, replace any rotten boards, set correct falls, and bond the new EPDM or GRP membrane in one continuous piece wherever possible. The result is a flat roof that lasts decades, not seasons.

Strip and inspect existing decking
Replacement OSB/ply decking where required
Setting correct falls to outlets
EPDM, GRP or torch-on felt membrane
Aluminium drip edge and gutter trims
