Flat Roofing Southdown

Flat roofs on rear extensions across Southdown's post-war housing are predominantly felt systems from the 1970s to 1990s now at or past end of life. The elevated plateau position means frost cycling is more severe here than in Bath valley locations — GRP's seamless construction handles freeze-thaw better than felt because there are no lap joints for frost to open. Most Southdown flat roofs complete in one day. Deck inspection included on all replacements.

The post-war estate housing is almost entirely concrete interlocking tile from 1950 to 1985 — a uniform stock at a uniform maintenance horizon. Ridge mortar has carbonated for 40 to 75 years and is in various stages of failure across the estate. The elevated plateau position accelerates carbonation on south and west-facing ridges compared with valley-floor properties. Most Southdown repair calls are concrete tile ridge issues — we carry matching profiles for same-visit repair.
