What flat roof work do we do in Redruth?
Balconies and roof terraces
Balconies in Redruth are often re-waterproofed when the ceiling below starts to stain. On many older balconies, the membrane was laid under tiles or screed with no way to inspect it, so by the time the leak appears, water may have been tracking under the surface for a long time.
Flat roof repairs
Landlords and managing agents in Redruth need a repair done properly once, rather than a quick fix that brings tenants back on the phone a month later. We trace the leak to its source and confirm the price in writing, so the repair can be approved and booked without guesswork.
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Kitchen extensions in Redruth, as elsewhere, produce a lot of moisture from cooking. Under a cold flat roof, that moisture can condense on the deck. A warm roof keeps the deck warm and puts a vapour control layer in the way, which lowers the risk considerably.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Redruth?
In a town like Redruth flat roofs are mostly on lock-up garage blocks on estates and 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches. Weather matters on a flat roof. The South West averages roughly 1,260 mm of rain a year and many roofs face wind off the Atlantic, so we specify fixings and edge details for wind uplift as well as drainage. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Redruth?
Where approval is needed it goes to Cornwall 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.
