What flat roof work do we do in Huntingdon?

Torch-on felt roofing

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

Flat roof replacement

A sensible moment to replace a flat roof in Huntingdon is when other work is planned on the house, such as a kitchen refit below, new windows or a loft conversion. Doing the roof first protects the new work, and it is the natural time to upgrade insulation to the level the regulations expect for a renovated roof.

Garage roofs

Water from a failing garage roof in Huntingdon does not always stay in the garage. On an attached garage it can run down the house wall or track under the flashing, and a blocked or broken gutter can spill onto the drive or a neighbour's property. Replacing the roof deals with the source.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Huntingdon?

In a town like Huntingdon flat roofs are mostly on shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats and 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches. Weather matters on a flat roof. The East of England is the driest part of Britain, with parts of the Anglian region around 630 mm a year, so summer heat and UV, not rainfall, do most of the ageing on a felt roof. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Who approves flat roof work in Huntingdon?

Where approval is needed it goes to Huntingdonshire District Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
