Flat Roofs in Plaistow

Replacing a flat roof on a typical London extension is a contained job, usually measured in days. In Plaistow, as across E13 and the rest of the London Borough of Newham, Ashlar Roofing plans the work around the forecast, because membranes need a dry deck to bond, and keeps the roof protected overnight so the room below stays dry while the job is under way. Most of the work happens outside, so you can usually stay in the house throughout.

First the worn covering comes off and is taken away, then the deck is checked board by board and any rotten sections are replaced. If insulation is being added, it goes down next, followed by the new rubber, felt or fibreglass system, finished with trims and flashings. Any roof timbers that need more than a board replacement are discussed with you first. Before we leave, the edges, outlets and wall junctions are checked again and the area around the extension is cleared.
