Flat Roofing in Ollerton
Flat roofs on Ollerton properties take a beating — sheltered to the east by Sherwood Forest but very open from the west, so leading-edge tiles on west-facing slopes take a beating. Whether it's a single-storey kitchen extension, a garage roof or a dormer cheek, we install EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt systems across an ex-mining town on the edge of Sherwood Forest with terraced ex-colliery housing in New Ollerton, an older village core at Old Ollerton and large modern estates pushing toward Boughton. Every job is specified for that particular roof rather than fitted off a generic price list.
