Flat Roofing in Somersetfrom our Crick base.

Many roofers offer every type of flat roof covering: felt, rubber, asphalt and fibreglass. LMB deliberately doesn't. We work only with GRP fibreglass and approved liquid roofing systems, because both create a single, seamless waterproof surface with properly specified junctions and details.

That focus shapes every recommendation we make for flat roofing in Somerset. We aren't trying to sell you whichever product we happen to stock. We're choosing between two modern systems on the basis of what your roof actually needs: its size, shape, deck condition, drainage, details and how it will be used.

Liam Brinkworth owns and runs the business. Contact Liam to discuss the survey, proposed work and quotation.

LMB holds £5 million public liability insurance. Liquid systems are applied as an approved installer, and installations come with a guarantee of 10 to 20 years depending on the system specified and whether it requires matting.

What affects the price of flat roofing in Somerset? The main factors are the roof area, how easy it is to reach, the condition of the existing deck, how many details there are (pipes, vents, rooflights, upstands and outlets), whether the old covering needs stripping, and which system is specified. That is why we never quote a fixed rate. The free survey looks at each of these on your roof, so the written quote reflects the real job and the proposed scope is clear. Any changes should be discussed before additional work is agreed.

You don't need to climb onto a roof to spot most warning signs. From an upstairs window, the garden or the ground, look for cracked or blistered surfaces, moss or vegetation growing on the roof, water that stays ponded for days after rain, lifted or broken edge trims, and gaps where the roof meets a wall.

Inside, check the ceilings under the flat roof for brown stains, bubbling paint or plaster, and any damp or musty smell. Stains that grow after heavy rain are a clear sign water is getting in, even if you never see a drip.

If you can, take a few photos and note when the problem appears: after every shower, only in heavy rain, or only in wind-driven rain. That detail helps narrow down the cause before the survey and makes your free quote more accurate.

Please don't climb onto or walk on a roof to inspect it. A soft deck can give way, and wet roofs are slippery. Leave that part to us. If water is actively coming in, call us for an emergency call-out rather than waiting.
