1. Free professional survey
Our qualified roofer attends your property to survey the existing flat roof covering, the deck and the supporting joists, then reports on the work required and the cost.
2. Roof specification
Your options are matched to the size, access and use of your flat roof, whether that’s EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or torch-on felt. The full specification and a fixed price are confirmed in writing before any materials are ordered.
3. Fixed timeline
On acceptance of the quotation, a start date is agreed and the duration on site confirmed before work begins. The timescale depends on the size of the roof and the system chosen, and you are told at the outset how many days your job will take.
4. Strip out and deck check
Safe access is set up and the property protected before the old covering is removed and disposed of responsibly. The decking and joists are then inspected in full, and any rotten or damaged boards are replaced.
5. Installation
The new flat roof is laid with the correct falls so rainwater drains away. Each stage is checked before the next one starts. Upstands, edge trims and outlets are formed as the work goes on, not added at the end, so the roof stays watertight throughout.
6. Final inspection and handover
The completed roof is inspected with you, and the site is cleared. Your warranty documentation is issued on completion, along with any manufacturer cover that applies to your roof covering.
Whether you need a quick leak repair or a complete new EPDM or GRP roof, our local team in Chelmsford provides flat roof services, including installations, repairs and replacements.
