Flat Roofs in Westhoughton

Water gets in through small cracks or failed edges and soaks into the boards, often for a long time before it shows inside. Older chipboard decks are particularly prone to swelling and losing strength. When we replace a flat roof, rotten boards are swapped for new decking before the membrane goes on.

Yes. Porch roofs are small but often leak where they meet the house wall, through a failed flashing or mortar fillet. Sometimes it's the covering itself. We'll check both and either repair the junction or re-cover the porch roof, whichever fixes the cause.

Both are excellent when installed properly. EPDM is flexible, has very few joints and is quick to install, so it suits most garages and extensions. GRP gives a hard, walkable surface and handles complex shapes well. We'll recommend one based on your roof and how you use it.

A little. Keep outlets and gutters clear, remove leaves and debris, and have a look after storms for lifted edges or damage. Avoid walking on membranes that aren't designed for it. A yearly check catches small issues before they become leaks.

Yes. Dormer roofs are usually small but fiddly, with edges and flashings that tie into the main roof. We replace the covering and renew the junctions so water can't get in where the dormer meets the slope. Building a new dormer is different and may need permission from Bolton Council.
