Flat Roofing in
Braintree, Essex.

A flat roof never gets an easy day. Driving rain sits on it, harsh winds find every lifted edge, and summer heat works the joints loose. When a flat roof is fitted properly it shrugs all of that off for years. When it is not, it usually announces the problem with a damp patch on the ceiling.

Lewis Roofing fits durable, weather-resistant flat roofing on garages, extensions and dormers across Braintree and the surrounding Essex villages, and we repair tired flat roofs too. Where a flat roof meets tiles, a chimney or a wall, we finish the junctions with specialist lead work so water has nowhere to get in.

Braintree's flat roofs cluster where you would expect. The Georgian and Victorian buildings around the town centre carry flat-roofed rear extensions and dormers built onto homes that were never designed for them, so the junctions with old lime-mortared brickwork are usually where the trouble starts. The 1930s semis add their garages and bay canopies, and the newer estates at Great Notley and around Bocking bring their rows of flat-roofed garages. Because Braintree draws commuters who renovate as soon as they arrive, we see plenty of flat roofs inherited half-done: someone else's felt patch, someone else's gamble with the fall.

Russ assesses every job in person and tells you straight whether a repair will do or whether a replacement is the better spend. That repair-first honesty is why so much of our work comes from word-of-mouth referrals. If your garage or dormer roof is due attention, call 07706 999046 for a free, honest quote.
