Your flat roof is one of the most important and perhaps most overlooked component of your home or building. As they say, ‘out of sight, out of mind,’ and this is commonly the case when it comes to flat roof maintenance. This often leads to building owners overlooking the importance of having their roof inspected regularly.

We also look to determine if the roof system is performing according to its intended function and identify needed repairs. We will also answer any questions and Include photographs of any problems
