What flat roof work do we do in Carmarthen?
Commercial flat roofing
Safety planning matters on commercial sites in Carmarthen. Every job is planned under CDM, with a method statement, edge protection and covers over rooflights and fragile areas. If asbestos is found, a licensed specialist surveys and removes it before our work starts, so nobody is put at risk.
EPDM rubber roofing
For landlords with property in Carmarthen, EPDM's low upkeep is the main draw: once the outlets are kept clear and the trims are checked once or twice a year, there is little else to do. It also goes down quickly on a small roof, which keeps disruption for tenants to a minimum.
Dormer roofs
High, exposed dormers in Carmarthen 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.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Carmarthen?
In a town like Carmarthen flat roofs are mostly on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms and 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches. 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 Carmarthen?
Where approval is needed it goes to Carmarthenshire County Council building control, or a registered building control approver. Welsh guidance is that most re-roofing needs building control approval, so it's worth checking whenever more than a quarter of a roof is replaced or repaired. How the rules work.
