Refurbishment
Refurbishment is the largest part of what we do. Most commercial flat roofs reaching the end of their life do not need stripping, and we survey first to establish which parts of the existing build-up can be retained before anyone specifies or prices the works.
Refurbishment roofing
Refurbishment work carries risk that new build does not. You cannot fully know what is in a roof until it is opened, and unpriced surprises are what turns a refurbishment contract into a dispute. Core sampling and moisture mapping before pricing removes most of that risk for both sides.
It is also the point at which the underlying problems get fixed. Correcting falls, increasing outlet capacity and upgrading insulation cost very little while the roof is open and are usually what stops the same failure repeating in a decade.
What we plan for
- 01Core sampling and moisture mapping before pricing
- 02Retaining sound existing build-up where evidence supports it
- 03Thermal upgrade to current Part L standards
- 04Asbestos surveys and licensed removal where identified
