What flat roof work do we do in Christchurch?
Extension and kitchen roofs
Selling a house in Christchurch with a tired extension roof can raise questions in the buyer's survey. A recent replacement, with building control sign-off where needed and written guarantees, gives a buyer confidence and removes a likely point of negotiation.
Liquid-applied roofing
For businesses and landlords in Christchurch, a cold-applied liquid roof means no flame on site and, with some systems, a short cure time. That can make it easier to work around occupied buildings, tenants and opening hours than a system that needs hot works or a long strip-out.
Garage roofs
Water from a failing garage roof in Christchurch does not always stay in the garage. On an attached garage it can run down the house wall or track under the flashing, and a blocked or broken gutter can spill onto the drive or a neighbour's property. Replacing the roof deals with the source.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Christchurch?
In a town like Christchurch flat roofs are mostly on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. 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 Christchurch?
Where approval is needed it goes to BCP 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.
