Find flat roofing professionals in East Melbourne

Flat roofing includes all the tasks necessary to install, maintain, fix or restore your property’s flat roof. This service typically includes the following procedures: inspecting the roof and preparing the required materials and tools, installing the flat roof, removing an existing roof and underlying roof support structure, putting on a replacement roof and performing necessary repairs or maintenance.  

Inspecting and preparing the roof

Your flat roof specialist begins the service by going up on your roof and making a thorough visual inspection. They can recommend the best type of flat roof that fits your needs and budget that conforms with your state’s building code. Your flat roof specialist can determine the right materials and what amount to use. They can also do a thorough cleaning of the roof to prepare it for any adhesives if the type of roofing material calls for it. 

Before installation, some flat roof specialists can recommend trimming overgrown tree limbs that may get in the way with work on the flat roof, but this can cost extra. If your flat roof specialist finds overgrown tree branches, consider hiring a tree surgeon before work begins on your flat roof.  

Installing a flat roof

Once your roof specialist has taken the needed measurements, cleaned the roof surfaces and the materials are ready, they can proceed with the installation. If you don’t have all the materials yet, some specialists can buy these for you as long as material costs are covered. Your flat roof specialist can install built-up roofing, modified bitumen roofing, membrane roofing or other common types of flat roofing.  

They can use the appropriate tools and techniques to ensure that the installation is done right and your roof is as durable as expected and does not leak or come apart. After your flat roof is installed, why not hire an expert to install the electrical wiring for the lighting and electrical outlets? 

Flat roof replacement

Should you have an existing roof and want to renovate or change your roof, your hired flat roof specialist can replace it with a flat roof type of your choice. They can remove the old roof and whatever parts that need changing to accommodate the replacement flat roof. Some specialists can make modifications for mounting the replacement roof, but this can cost extra. If you need a new roof mounting structure or other changes, consider hiring a carpenter. 

Flat roof repairs and maintenance

Your hired flat roof specialist can perform maintenance or repairs on your flat roof as necessary. They can patch up or repair holes, replace worn portions of felt, re-apply adhesive as appropriate and perform all the required flat roof maintenance with the right materials and tools.
