What flat roof work do we do in Abergele?
Liquid-applied roofing
Liquid systems suit balconies and walkways in Abergele because they form neatly at door thresholds, railings and drains, and some products are designed to take foot traffic. Converting a roof into a new terrace is a different matter, and usually needs planning permission first.
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Small commercial buildings in Abergele with large flat roofs can lose a lot of heat through them. Where the roof is being replaced, upgrading the insulation at the same time is required in most cases and helps reduce running costs for the occupier.
Flat roof replacement
A mineral felt roof laid decades ago may still look intact from the ground in Abergele, yet have lost its chippings, cracked at the laps and pulled away at the upstands. Those faults let water track under the covering, so by the time a ceiling stain appears, the deck has often been wet for some time.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Abergele?
In a town like Abergele flat roofs are mostly on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and lock-up garage blocks on estates. 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 Abergele?
Where approval is needed it goes to Conwy County Borough 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.
