What we do

Reactive & planned repairs

We carry out both reactive and planned repair works on flat, pitched and curved roofing systems. Common repair scopes include membrane patch repairs, flashing replacements, upstand re-sealing, expansion joint repairs and gutter lining works. Each repair is assessed on site and matched to the existing system specification to ensure long-term compatibility and performance.

Waterproofing systems

Waterproofing is applied using liquid-applied membranes, torch-on felt, EPDM, TPO and hot melt systems depending on the substrate and the client’s requirements. We carry out full surface preparation including cleaning, priming and crack repair before any waterproofing product is applied, ensuring adhesion and longevity.

Emergency callout

Our emergency callout capability means we can respond to storm damage, sudden leaks or urgent contractor requests within short notice. We arrive with the tools, materials and access equipment needed to make good quickly, providing written photographic reports before and after works are carried out.

System-matched specification

Every repair is assessed on site and matched to the existing system specification. We work across flat, pitched and curved roofing to ensure long-term compatibility and performance, whether that is a like-for-like repair or an upgrade to a higher-performing system.

Why Think Access

Rope access eliminates the wait for scaffold and allows us to reach any part of a roof efficiently. Our teams are experienced in both reactive and scheduled repair, and we deliver quality control documentation as standard.
