An ageing roof deserves a complete assessment before you decide on the work. Alliance Roofing helps you plan a flat or low-slope roof replacement around the condition of the roof, the needs of your building and your budget.
Establish what needs replacing
Recurring leaks, repeated repairs and visible deterioration all help guide the assessment. Age alone does not determine whether a roof needs replacement. The substrate, finishing details and any drainage concerns also need to be considered before choosing the scope of work.
Plan the complete roof assembly
Replacement involves more than installing a new membrane. The proposal should explain preparation, selected materials, planned insulation and the treatment of drains, parapets and penetrations. It should also explain how unforeseen deterioration discovered after opening the roof will be handled.
Prepare for work around daily activities
Building access, container placement and protection of surrounding areas should be discussed before work begins. Tell us about occupancy hours and access restrictions when you request an estimate. This helps you compare clearly defined work, rather than prices that may cover different things.
Points to assess
- Existing layers and previous repairs
- Tear-off scope and substrate work
- Access, deliveries and protection of the property
