The project
How we put it right
The problem
The existing felt flat roof was old and had reached the end of its serviceable life. Following our initial inspection, a storm partly lifted the covering and left the room below exposed to the elements.
Why the work was needed
The roof needed immediate temporary protection to prevent further water damage, followed by a reliable long-term replacement covering.
What the homeowner wanted
A rapid emergency response was essential. Using one of our own MEWPs gave us safe, immediate access, so the exposed area could be covered without waiting for separate access equipment.
The challenge
The main challenge was responding quickly after the storm while the room below was open to the weather.
The damaged covering also had to be made safe and temporarily weatherproof before the permanent replacement could go ahead.
Owning and operating our own MEWPs meant we could provide rapid, safe access at a critical time.

In the homeowner's words
We were very grateful for the swift response and care we received at what we felt was an incredibly stressful time for us.
Professional, courteous and friendly team, great communication from initial enquiry to finish of job.
We originally booked in for a small leak that had appeared in our flat roof attic extension, then as the storms of March absolutely destroyed our felt roof the team very promptly fitted us in for a temporary fix until the main works could be carried out. We were very grateful for the swift response and care we received at what we felt was an incredibly stressful time for us.
