Burnham-on-Sea is around seventeen miles west of our base in Wells, and we cover the town, Highbridge and the TA8 area.
We work in GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and felt, taking on repairs and full replacements on domestic and commercial flat roofs alike.
What Burnham rooftops are usually like
Burnham has an unusually high proportion of bungalows and single storey housing, a lot of it built or extended in the second half of the twentieth century. That means a lot of flat roofs at low level: rear extensions, sunrooms and conservatory conversions, utility rooms, porches and detached garages.
Like Weston, it is a coastal town on low ground, so wind exposure and wind-driven rain matter. Low level flat roofs also collect more debris and leaf litter than people expect, which blocks outlets and leaves water standing where it should be draining.
What we get called out for in Burnham-on-Sea
- Sunroom and conservatory-conversion roofs where the covering or the detailing has failed
- Bungalow extension roofs on their original felt
- Blocked outlets and standing water on low level flat roofs
- Edge trim and flashing damage from coastal wind
- Detached garage roofs needing a full strip and re-cover
- Fascias, soffits and guttering renewed at the same time as the roof

Flat roofing questions we get asked in Burnham-on-Sea
Can you re-roof a sunroom or converted conservatory?
Yes, and it is one of the more common jobs we do in Burnham. The important part is checking what the existing structure can carry before deciding on a covering, which is exactly what the survey is for.
Do you cover Highbridge and the surrounding villages?
Yes, TA8 and the area around it. Call and ask if you are not sure whether you are in range.
Why does my flat roof keep holding water?
Usually either the falls were never right, or the outlet is blocked or badly placed, or the deck has sagged. Clearing an outlet is quick. The other two need the roof stripping and the falls rebuilding, which we can do as part of a re-cover.
