What flat roof work do we do in Ebbw Vale?

EPDM rubber roofing

Rubber is a sensible pick in Ebbw Vale where a roof sits close to bedrooms or a kitchen and you would rather avoid hot works. It suits porches, bays and dormers too, where the small area means a single sheet can cover the whole roof with no joins at all.

GRP fibreglass roofing

If a flat roof in Ebbw Vale has already been patched with fibreglass that keeps cracking, a full GRP replacement on a new, properly fixed deck often solves the problem. Cracks usually come from movement in the boards beneath, so renewing the deck and reinforcing the joints deals with the cause.

Dormer roofs

A dormer roof that has been patched several times in Ebbw Vale often has layers of old repairs that hide the real fault. Stripping back to the deck shows what has been going on, and lets the team rebuild the back-edge abutment properly rather than sealing over it again.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Ebbw Vale?

In a town like Ebbw Vale flat roofs are mostly on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. 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 Ebbw Vale?

Where approval is needed it goes to Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
