Which flat roofs are common in Bridgend?

Local weather shapes the specification. 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. Across Bridgend, flat roofs are typically found on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions, 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Which flat roof jobs do we take on in Bridgend?

Torch-on felt roofing

Torch-on felt is widely specified for blocks of flats and HMOs, in Bridgend as elsewhere, because the system is well understood, widely repairable and governed by a British Standard code of practice. Three-layer builds with insulation are common on larger, multi-occupied roofs.

Dormer roofs

High, exposed dormers in Bridgend take the full force of the wind and rain. Edge trims loosen, flashings lift and the felt at the drip edge cracks. Once the faults spread around the perimeter, a new roof with fresh trims usually lasts far longer than another round of repairs.

Balconies and roof terraces

Balcony membranes in Bridgend wear out like any roof, but faster where they are exposed to foot traffic, furniture and planters. Once the topcoat has worn through or cracked around posts and edges, a full re-waterproofing usually lasts longer than repeated patching.

Building regulations in Wales

The Welsh Approved Document L applies. Renovating more than half of a roof over a heated room means upgrading it to around 0.16 W/m²K where feasible, and new extension roofs are built to 0.13 W/m²K. Welsh Government guidance is that most re-roofing needs building control approval, so check whenever more than a quarter of a roof is replaced or repaired. We deal with the application as part of the job. More on the rules.
