What flat roof work do we do in Aylesbury?

Flat roof repairs

Flat roofs in Aylesbury face the same enemies as anywhere else: rain driven against walls, leaves blocking outlets, sun drying out older felt and frost opening small cracks. People tend to notice when a stain appears on a ceiling after a storm, or when water is still sitting on the roof days after rain.

Liquid-applied roofing

If a flat roof in Aylesbury is ageing but still dry, firmly bonded and on a sound deck, a reinforced liquid system can be applied over it. That avoids the cost and mess of a full strip-out, provided the moisture and adhesion checks at survey show the existing roof is fit to build on.

Dormer roofs

A dormer roof that has been patched several times in Aylesbury 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 Aylesbury?

In a large town like Aylesbury flat roofs are mostly on shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats and terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. Much of the South East sits in the drier Thames catchment at roughly 730 mm of rain a year, so the usual failures are at joints, upstands and outlets rather than from sheer volume of rain. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Who approves flat roof work in Aylesbury?

Where approval is needed it goes to Buckinghamshire Council building control, or a registered building control approver. Replacing more than half of a roof over a heated room usually counts as renovating a thermal element, so it is insulated to current standards and notified to building control. How the rules work.
