Three routes for roofs that need more than a patch

In Higham Ferrers, the jobs we are often asked about cover three quite different roof problems. Conservatory roof conversions help when the room is too hot, too cold or too bright to use comfortably. EPDM flat roofing suits garages, extensions and other low-slope roofs that need a continuous waterproof finish. Tiled roof replacement is there when an ageing pitched roof has moved beyond a dependable local repair. With MTS Northants, we look at the structure, the roof type and the outcome you want, then steer the work in the direction that fits rather than forcing every property into the same kind of fix.

Planning materials, access and property protection

When we visit a property in Higham Ferrers, we need to understand the roof type and the access before the work is planned in detail. For conservatories, that can include protecting the interior and working around the existing frames. For tiled roofs, it may mean space for scaffolding and material handling. For flat roofs, the deck and the drainage route matter from the start. A clear quotation from MTS Northants follows once those practical points have been checked on site.

Frequently asked questions

What helps before a conservatory roof conversion visit?

Think about how you want to use the room, what bothers you most now and what access we have around the conservatory. If the inside needs protecting or there are fittings that may affect the work, tell us that too. Those details help us assess the structure, the roof shape and the sort of finished ceiling or roof system that will suit the space best.

Why is the roof deck checked before EPDM is fitted?

Because the membrane is only as good as the roof it is bonded to. If the deck is damaged, soft or holding trapped moisture, that needs attention before the new covering goes on. We also need to look at the falls and the outlets, because even a strong waterproof membrane still relies on the roof beneath it doing its job properly.

What points matter when replacing a tiled roof?

We need to consider the roof pitch, the tile profile and weight, the state of the supporting layers and the detailing at ridges, verges, flashings and eaves. Tiled replacement is not just about swapping one surface for another. A good result depends on the condition of the roof beneath and how the new covering is finished at every edge and junction.
