What flat roof work do we do in Aberkenfig?

Single-ply membrane roofing

If a flat roof in Aberkenfig has poor falls and ponding, a single-ply re-roof with tapered insulation can correct both problems at once. The tapered boards build the fall into the insulation, and the membrane is laid over the top, with outlets set at the new low points.

Garage roofs

Garage roofs in Aberkenfig are often replaced when the deck gives way. Chipboard decks swell and soften once they get wet, and you may see sagging between joists or feel the roof flex underfoot. Replacing the deck and covering together is usually more economical than repeated repairs.

Torch-on felt roofing

Torch-on felt is widely specified for blocks of flats and HMOs, in Aberkenfig 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.

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.
