Which flat roofs are common in County Tyrone?
Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. 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. Across County Tyrone, flat roofs are typically found on lock-up garage blocks on estates, 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Which flat roof jobs do we take on in County Tyrone?
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Converting a garage, loft space or outbuilding to a room in County Tyrone changes what the roof needs to do. Once the space is heated, the roof is expected to perform to a higher standard, and a warm build-up is usually the simplest way to get there.
Liquid-applied roofing
If a flat roof in County Tyrone is ageing but still dry, firmly bonded and on a sound deck, a reinforced liquid system can be applied over it. That avoids the cost and mess of a full strip-out, provided the moisture and adhesion checks at survey show the existing roof is fit to build on.
Dormer roofs
If your dormer in County Tyrone was added years ago with a basic felt roof and little insulation, it will tend to fail at the edges first, and they leave the loft room cold in winter and hot in summer. A warm-roof replacement deals with both problems at once.
Building control in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F1 sets roof insulation at 0.18 W/m²K when a roof over a heated room is renovated or newly built, where that's feasible. The district council's building control should be contacted before work starts, and we prepare the details it asks for. More on the rules.
