Flat roofing in Bourne
Garage, extension and dormer roofs laid to fall and finished to last, replacing the felt that has blistered, split or started ponding.
Most flat roofs that fail were never really flat. They were laid without enough fall, so water sits instead of running off, and standing water is what finds every seam and every blister eventually. If the garage or the extension in Bourne has started letting go, the fix is usually as much about the fall and the drainage as the covering itself.
The signs worth acting on
- Pools still sitting on the roof a day after the rain stopped
- Blisters or bubbles lifting in the surface
- Splits and cracks along the seams or at the upstands
- A damp patch on the ceiling below, or on the wall where the roof meets the house
- Gravel or chippings washed into one corner, which means water is running the wrong way
Laid so the water leaves
We build the falls back in with firrings rather than lay a new covering over a flat deck and hope, because a covering on a roof that ponds will fail the same way the last one did. The deck gets checked and replaced where it has gone soft underfoot, upstands and edge trims are formed properly, and the outlet is put where the water actually wants to go. Then it is finished in the system that suits the roof and the budget, and we will explain the difference rather than just name one.

What people say
In their words, not ours
One of the problems of finding a roofer when you are an older person is the thought of being scammed, especially given the increasing numbers of rogue traders together with the high costs at stake especially if the work is poor or non existent. We trawled a lot of roofers and found varying prices and limited experience and ‘one man bands’ offering little or no guarantees for their work. We came across Fred’s newly formed EverCrest Property Care Ltd Company and were initially concerned at the limited 3 months or so that they had been trading for, albeit that Fred had been a Sole Trader for some 6 years. So we undertook a ‘due diligence’ on the company and found they had worked on a limited number of roofing projects in the start up time. However having had a number of positive conversations with Fred we decided to give his company a chance having had a very good response and price to our required specification that formed the basis of our Building Control Application through Boston Borough Council. They say you can only make a first impression once and EverCrest Property Care Ltd certainly made an excellent impression indeed, in fact the work they undertook was first class and our Building Control Inspector was equally impressed with the standard of works they carried out. Our project involved replacing a main roof on a detached property and likewise on a kitchen extension. Work commenced on a Friday with the scaffolding being erected along with the delivery of two skips. On the Monday morning around 8:30am a team of 7 arrived on site and by 10am both roofs had been stripped and the Building Inspector was called early to check out the structure prior to the roofers installing the new insulation, membrane and battening in readiness for the new soffits, guttering and tiles being installed from Tuesday onwards. By Thursday the project had been completed and the Building Inspector returned first thing Friday morning and signed off the work having been impressed with the finished work. On the basis of the above experience we would have no hesitation in recommending EverCrest Property Care Ltd as a suitable and very experienced roofing contractor and would be happy to give any references to their standard of works.

Before you ring
Flat Roofing in Bourne: common questions
How long should a flat roof last?
It depends entirely on the system and whether the water can get off it. A well laid roof with proper falls lasts many years; one that ponds will fail early whatever it is covered with, which is why we deal with the fall first.
Can you just patch it?
Sometimes, and if a patch is genuinely the right answer we will say so. Where the deck underneath has gone soft a patch only moves the leak along, and we will show you the photographs that tell you which situation you are in.
Do you do garage roofs, or only house extensions?
Both. A detached garage roof in Bourne is a normal job for us and is quoted the same way as anything else, free and in writing.
Will the new roof look like the old one?
Usually better, and flatter to the eye where the falls have been corrected. We will go through the finish options with you before anything is ordered.
