Our skilled flat roofers will then arrive on site and take delivery of skips and materials to ensure they are in the right place for the project and to help protect your belongings, putting down boards or coverings to limit any damage to your grass or driveway.

Our roofers will set up their hoisting equipment and will then strip off the old flat roof coverings back to the timber deck. At this point they will inspect your boards and a decision will be made if they need replaced or not. If the boards are deemed to not be salvageable, we will remove them back to the trusses and dispose of old tiles and other associated materials to the skip.Tiled roofs are a fantastic modern approach to roofing and due to changes in regulations most tiled roofs now come with dry fitting accessories such as dry ridge systems, meaning the use for mortar is no longer needed. This modern approach will ensure that your roof is maintenance free.

As our skilled flat roofers go they will replace your old redundant boards with new 18mm OSB ply boards and ensure your roof is made watertight by fitting torch-on underlay.
