Flat roofing on Rushmere St Andrew's 1930s rear extensions and post-war housing — GRP fibreglass is the right modern replacement for ageing felt systems. We cover Rushmere St Andrew and east Ipswich.
The 1930s semis along Humber Doucy Lane and Playford Road typically have single-storey rear extensions added in the 1950s–70s, now 50–70 years old — well past any reasonable design life for the felt or asphalt systems originally used. For these period properties, GRP fibreglass on a new deck handles the thermal movement of older buildings well, and we pay particular attention to the junction between the flat roof and the main clay tile pitch.
