Rope access flat roof repairs
Our rope access roof repair services specialise in these special situations and projects. This rope access flat roof repair services provide the best price for these quick flat roof repairs, using rope access / abseiling gears and our own mobile anchor systems, which is also suitable for work restrain or fall arrest, like any other installed man-safe system, so this special solution makes possible any flat roof repairs without scaffolding. This access solution on any flat roof areas makes possible a regular roof maintenance and roof cleaning to keep the flat roof and its facilities in the best working condition, which helps to avoid a most complex and unwanted emergency roof repairs subsequently. Building and using a complex edge protection or rail system to keep the roofers safe on the roof edges during the work period on the actual flat roof, would mean significant extra cost and time, which is incomparably expensive and complex than use rope access – abseiling gears and our professional services. Sometimes a comprehensive overhauling of the flat roof is also possible using our rope access / work restrain systems, but our strength is a quick and efficient strike in one working day or so, which is enough for a lot of or comprehensive repairs usually, especially on terraces, roofs of porches or so, which efficiency generates the best price for any roof repair / flat roof repair project we provide. We specialise in leaking roof inspection for insurance and conveyancing purposes and professional leaking roof repairs mainly, which is available and affordable for any residential and commercial customers in London. Our specialist team can repair bituminous torch-on-felt roof system, which is one of the best and long lasing flat roof coverage. If it was installed / applied correctly then it can achieve a 100-year life span easily. This type of bituminous felt system can be applied onto any concrete, asphalt, plywood, and other surfaces which can resist the heat of the gas torch to weld the felt down to the previously primed surface properly. The glass reinforced top felt / mineral felt is treated (covered) with colourful mineral grains, which makes the final surface of the flat roof really decorative. Despite the great characteristics and easy application of this type of bituminous felt system, some repairs need to be carried out on them, if the application process was not thorough enough, especially on the corners and upstands mainly. The other bituminous type of flat roof system is the old-style traditional asphalt roof, which can be cracked and/or melted and deformed usually by the sunshine and other erosive weather conditions and the movement of the building structures. As the lifespan of the applied asphalt on any roof can barely achieve 50 years, this type of asphalt roofs requires complete overhauling or major repairs usually, but our professional rope access flat roof repair team can carry out some temporary repairs to push its boundaries and lifespan a bit further. There are some other types of generally used new flat roof system, like GRP (glass reinforced plastic) roof which is really popular amongst the installers / roofers and customers too, based on its price and easy application, but it is just smoke and mirrors. GRP roof hides a lot of issues and headache for the customers. This rigid and eventually low quality liquid waterproofing system cannot work together with the base surface and the building itself usually and causes a lot of issues in the first couple of years. Our abseiling roofing repair team repairs several cracked, detached and leaking GRP roofs in London on a weekly basis, which means significant extra expenses to our customers unfortunately. As our rope access flat roof repair team learn a lot of form these negative experiences and our engineers keep up with the most professional flat roof material developments, our team use the most professional roof repair and liquid waterproofing systems and materials only (not Acrypol!!!). Sika, BMI Sealoflex, Kemper and some other professional manufacturers provide one component PU based, fleece reinforced flexible and long-lasting liquid waterproofing systems, which can be reliably applied on any sound and stable horizontal or vertical roof surfaces. However, these materials are much more expensive than the widely used, cheap GRP, the final result is much more reliable and long-lasting solution, but the correct application is also the key to achieve the best result. Flat roofs can be covered and made waterproof with the widest variety of materials and solutions in the roofing industry, which also can be lead roof, hard metal roof, PVC roof and so on. Some of them make the application and possible repairs really complicated sometimes, especially if the flat roof or roof top of dormers join into pitched roof sections which are slated or tiled. That’s why our abseiling roof repair services must be prepared to carry out any pitched roof repairs, tiled roof repairs or slated roof repairs as well as any lead roof repairs or hard metal roof repairs too. Some flat roofs are generally saved from the strong wind by the parapet wall around, but some flat roofs, which is joining to a mansard or pitched roof section are highly exposed to the stormy weather conditions. These edges and roof fields can damaged badly, but our storm damaged roof repair services provides professional repairs if necessary.
