Another quality flat roof completed by **EMS City Roofing**. 👌🏠

This project involved a full **EPDM rubber roof replacement**, with the existing joists extended to create the correct overhang for a **new white uPVC fascia and soffit**. A **continuous soffit vent** was then installed to provide the ventilation required for a **cold roof build-up**, helping to reduce the risk of condensation and ensuring the roof performs as it should.

The finished result is a clean, modern roofline with a durable, seamless EPDM rubber membrane built to last.

Phantom Leak Solved! 🏠

This chimney had been causing a persistent leak that no one could seem to track down. After a thorough inspection, we identified the real culprit – the chimney flaunching had failed, allowing water to pe*****te.

We removed the old, damaged flaunching and replaced it with new, correctly installed flaunching, ensuring the chimney is now fully weatherproof.

✅ Leak found.
✅ Problem fixed.
✅ Happy customer.
✅ No more water getting in!

Not every roof leak is obvious, but with the right experience, we can find the source and provide a lasting solution. If you're struggling with a mystery leak, get in touch for honest advice and a free, no-obligation quote.
