Flat Roof Drainage in Hinckley — Getting It Right
Hinckley’s flat east Midlands position with consistent wind exposure means correct drainage specification is critical on flat roofs. Standing water is the primary cause of premature membrane failure across LE10. Every flat roof we install includes a drainage assessment and correctly specified falls — minimum 1:80 for GRP, 1:60 for EPDM.
Deck Inspection — What We Find Under Hinckley Flat Roofs
When we strip an old flat roof on a Hinckley property, the most common findings are: wet or delaminated plywood deck, inadequate insulation, and failed upstand detailing at abutments. We inspect and quote for deck repairs before proceeding — a new membrane over a failed deck is money wasted.
Maintenance for Hinckley Flat Roofs
A GRP flat roof in Hinckley needs minimal maintenance — an annual check of upstands and outlets, and a clean of any debris that could block drainage. We recommend a check every autumn before the flat east Midlands position with consistent wind exposure. EPDM requires similar attention. We offer maintenance visits across LE10 for properties we’ve installed on.
Typical Pricing
Small flat roofs from £800. Most jobs £800–£6,000 GRP installed.
