What flat roof work do we do in Banbridge?
Extension and kitchen roofs
Rooflights fitted after the roof was built are a frequent source of trouble in Banbridge extensions. If the kerb was not formed properly or the membrane was simply sealed around the frame, leaks follow. Replacing the roof is the chance to rebuild every upstand to a proper standard.
GRP fibreglass roofing
GRP is a good fit in Banbridge for roofs with awkward shapes, short runs of upstand and lots of corners, because every detail is laminated in place rather than cut and glued. Where a sheet membrane would need many joins, fibreglass forms one continuous skin across the whole roof.
Commercial flat roofing
Safety planning matters on commercial sites in Banbridge. 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.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Banbridge?
In a town like Banbridge flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. The climate is part of the brief. Northern Ireland averages roughly 1,150 mm of rain a year, spread over many wet days, so a roof that sheds water quickly to clear outlets lasts far longer than one that holds puddles. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Banbridge?
Where approval is needed it goes to Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council building control. In Northern Ireland, renovating or replacing a roof over a heated room usually means meeting Technical Booklet F1, and building control should be contacted before work starts. How the rules work.
