Flat Roofs in Salford

Shallow puddles that dry within a day or so are common. Water that sits for days, or a dip that keeps getting deeper, suggests the deck is sagging or the roof has no proper fall. That puts strain on the covering and speeds up failure. Correcting the fall usually means relaying the deck as part of a replacement.

Yes. We repair and replace flat roofs on residential blocks and commercial buildings across Salford, including roofs with rooflights, plant and parapet walls. We plan access and safety carefully and can work with managing agents to keep disruption to residents or staff as low as possible.

Replacing the covering on an existing flat roof or dormer is normally treated as a repair and doesn't usually need planning permission. Building a new dormer or extension is different, and rules are tighter in conservation areas. Check with Salford City Council if you're unsure, and we'll advise on the roofing side.

Condensation tends to show as droplets or damp spread across a wide area of ceiling, often worse in cold weather and in kitchens or bathrooms. A leak usually appears in one spot and follows rainfall. Poorly insulated flat roofs can suffer from both. We inspect from above and below to work out which you're dealing with.

Often, yes. GRP can be cut back and re-laminated over a cracked or delaminated area, as long as the deck underneath is sound. If cracks are appearing all over the roof, it usually points to movement in the deck or poor original laying, and a full replacement may be the better option.
