Flat Roofing in Altrincham, Trafford

Most of the calls we get from the Trafford area start the same way: 'I've got a puddle sitting on my roof and it's starting to seep through.' This is what we call 'ponding,' and it's the natural enemy of traditional felt roofs. Old-fashioned bitumen and felt eventually crack under the sun or pull apart at the seams during a frost. Why keep spending money on temporary patches? We specialise in stripping back those failing layers and replacing them with high-quality OSB3 boards and modern membranes. Whether it's a small porch in Sale or a large commercial unit in Altrincham town centre, we'll make sure the water runs off into your gutters, not into your living room.

Have you ever wondered why boat hulls are made of fibreglass? It's because the stuff is virtually indestructible when it comes to water. We bring that same technology to your home with our GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) roofing. It’s a cold-applied, seamless system that forms a tough, structural skin over your roof. Because there are no joins or seams, there's nowhere for the water to get in. It's incredibly popular for balconies and walkways because it's tough enough to walk on, and we can even add a non-slip finish. It looks sleek, modern, and is a fantastic way to add value to your Trafford property.

For larger flat roofs, like those on a double garage or a modern kitchen extension, EPDM rubber is often the 'Gold Standard.' It's a high-performance synthetic rubber membrane that we lay in huge, single sheets. Imagine a giant, waterproof glove for your roof with no seams to worry about. It doesn't crack, rot, or peel, and it's famous for lasting decades without needing any maintenance. It handles the Altrincham frost and the summer heat with ease because it stays flexible. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to weatherproof your home for the long haul.

Is your extension freezing in the winter and like a greenhouse in the summer? That's usually because it's a 'cold roof' design with little to no insulation. When we're replacing your flat roofing in Trafford, it's the perfect time to talk about a warm roof installation. By placing high-quality insulation above the structural deck, we keep the heat inside your home where it belongs. It's a simple upgrade that makes a massive difference to your comfort and your heating bills. Plus, it helps prevent that nasty condensation buildup that can lead to damp and mould.
