Flat Roofing in Northumberland

A flat roof is only as good as what sits beneath the covering. We check the deck, confirm the falls run to the outlet and install the covering with properly formed upstands, edge trims and detailing at abutments — the points where most flat roofs begin to fail.

Splits, blisters, failed laps, tired upstands and damaged trims can often be repaired where the rest of the roof remains serviceable. Tell us what you're seeing, or send a photo, and we'll advise.

When a covering has reached the end of its life, replacement gives a clean start: deck checked, falls corrected where required, insulation considered and a new system installed and finished properly.

Water sitting on a flat roof is the single biggest cause of premature failure. Falls, outlets and gutters need to work together, which is why we look at the roofline and guttering alongside the roof itself.

Flat roofs suit extensions, garages, dormers and porches well. Where an existing flat roof has been a persistent problem, a flat-to-pitched conversion can be worth considering instead.
