What flat roof work do we do in Weymouth?
Balconies and roof terraces
Balconies in Weymouth 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.
Liquid-applied roofing
For businesses and landlords in Weymouth, 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.
Single-ply membrane roofing
If a flat roof in Weymouth has poor falls and ponding, a single-ply re-roof with tapered insulation can correct both problems at once. The tapered boards build the fall into the insulation, and the membrane is laid over the top, with outlets set at the new low points.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Weymouth?
In a large town like Weymouth flat roofs are mostly on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms and lock-up garage blocks on estates. 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 Weymouth?
Where approval is needed it goes to Dorset 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.
