What flat roof work do we do in Abertillery?
Balconies and roof terraces
Door thresholds are a common reason for balcony work in Abertillery. Where a door was fitted with a low step-out and no drainage channel, water driven against the frame finds its way under the sill. Re-waterproofing gives the chance to rebuild that detail properly.
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Landlords with flats and HMOs in Abertillery sometimes hear from tenants about cold top-floor rooms and black mould on ceilings. A warm roof upgrade during re-roofing tackles both the heat loss and the condensation behind the mould, and helps keep the roof timbers dry.
Extension and kitchen roofs
Selling a house in Abertillery with a tired extension roof can raise questions in the buyer's survey. A recent replacement, with building control sign-off where needed and written guarantees, gives a buyer confidence and removes a likely point of negotiation.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Abertillery?
In a town like Abertillery flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. The climate is part of the brief. Wales averages roughly 1,460 mm of rain a year, among the wettest in Britain, so we design for steady run-off: proper falls, clear outlets and upstands well above the finished roof. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Abertillery?
Where approval is needed it goes to Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council building control, or a registered building control approver. Welsh guidance is that most re-roofing needs building control approval, so it's worth checking whenever more than a quarter of a roof is replaced or repaired. How the rules work.
