As a roofing contractor, you know all too well that some roofs simply can’t be saved. Occasionally you’ll be asked to quote for a flat roof repair and can immediately see that the problem runs deeper. In this case, there is usually only one choice, to rip the entire roof out and rebuild it from scratch.

However, if the timber structure is still solid, you can avoid the costly exercise of removing timber boards and decking, as well as the labour required to accomplish the additional job. You can achieve this by overcoating the flat roof with a superior waterproofing system.

THE TRUE COST OF ROOF REPLACEMENT

Roofing contractors can benefit from providing a more cost-effective option than completely pulling up a roof. For this reason, liquid waterproofing systems have become increasingly popular on projects of all shapes and sizes.

When a business or building owner considers having their roof repaired, they consider more than labour and supply costs. To completely remove their roof, their business will likely have to shut for a period of time. Whether it’s for a day, a few days, or even a few weeks, the cost of this disruption soon adds up!

Don’t you think these clients would prefer a solution that required less downtime?

Overcoating systems offer the perfect solution for restoring the roof’s integrity, without the disruption of a full roof replacement.
