Technical details checked where water gathers
Drainage examined
We assess falls, outlets and roof edges before defining flat roof work.

We inspect the surrounding covering as well as the visible lead detail.
Windows integrated
We fit the unit, flashing and nearby covering as one weatherproof detail.
Flat roof faults assessed from deck to outlet
A flat roof leak can begin at an outlet, upstand, edge or penetration rather than in the open surface. We provide roofing in Kettering with careful attention to falls, drainage and vulnerable junctions. Before proposing repair or renewal, we consider the covering's condition and the deck beneath it. Our leadwork service also addresses abutments, valleys and chimney details where rain must be directed away from changes in the roof. We hold CompetentRoofer registration 10442, giving you a relevant credential to check when choosing us.
Roof windows fitted with the covering
Adding a Velux window creates a new opening, while replacing an existing unit works with an established position. We handle both needs in Kettering and assess how the flashing system meets nearby tiles or slates. Roof pitch, room use, headroom and operation all shape product and position choices. If an old window leaks, we inspect the frame, glazing and surrounding roof before deciding it needs replacement. Sometimes the culprit is a failed flashing detail doing a convincing impression of a broken window.
Frequently asked questions
What does CompetentRoofer registration 10442 show?
It is a recognised roofing registration and provides a specific credential that you can check when considering us. The appropriate roofing scope still depends on assessment of the building, defect and required outcome.
Can a flat roof leak be repaired without full renewal?
Yes, if the fault is contained and the surrounding system remains serviceable. Widespread deterioration, failed edges or several weak junctions may make broader renewal more practical. We inspect before explaining the options.
Can we replace a roof window in its existing opening?
Often, subject to the opening, roof pitch and suitable product. We assess the existing unit, flashings and nearby covering first. Any preparation needed around the opening can then be included in the planned scope.
