Pitched & Flat Roofing

A damaged or poorly maintained roof can quickly lead to problems elsewhere in your property. Missing or damaged tiles, failed flashing, cracked roof coverings and defective flat roofs can all allow water to enter the building, potentially causing damage to ceilings, walls, insulation and timber.

At MK Damp & Timber, we provide professional pitched and flat roofing services for domestic properties throughout Milton Keynes, Watford and London. Whether you have noticed a leak, damaged roof covering or signs of water ingress, we can assess the problem and advise on the most appropriate solution.

Pitched Roofing

Pitched roofs are designed to shed rainwater efficiently, but exposure to wind, rain and changing temperatures can eventually take its toll. Individual tiles or slates can become damaged or displaced, while pointing, flashing and other areas of the roof can deteriorate over time.

We carry out a range of pitched roofing repairs, from replacing damaged or missing tiles through to repairing areas of deteriorated roofing and associated components. We can also investigate the source of leaks and water ingress, helping to identify the cause rather than simply treating the visible symptoms.

Particular attention is given to areas where leaks commonly develop, including valleys, roof junctions, chimneys, flashings and abutments. Getting these problems dealt with promptly can help prevent water from reaching the underlying timbers and causing more extensive damage.

Flat Roofing

Flat roofs require a different approach from pitched roofing and, when properly installed and maintained, can provide many years of reliable service. However, flat roof coverings can deteriorate with age and exposure, potentially resulting in cracking, blistering, failed joints and water penetration.

We undertake flat roofing repairs and remedial work, investigating leaks and areas of damage and advising on the most practical solution. Depending on the condition and age of the roof, this may involve repairing a localised problem or replacing a larger section where the existing covering has reached the end of its useful life.

We understand that every property and every roof is different. Rather than recommending unnecessary work, we’ll assess the condition of the roof and explain what needs to be done and why.

Roof Repairs & Water Ingress

A roof leak isn’t always directly above the area where water becomes visible inside the property. Water can travel through roofing materials and timbers before eventually appearing as a damp patch on a ceiling or wall.

If you’ve noticed staining, damp patches, mould or a musty smell following periods of rain, it’s worth investigating the roof before the problem develops further. Early repairs can help prevent damage to insulation, plasterwork and structural timbers and may avoid a much more extensive repair later on.

Our roofing services can also complement our other damp and timber treatments. Where water ingress has resulted in damp or timber decay, we can assess the wider problem and advise on the work required to put it right.
