Which flat roofs are common in East Riding of Yorkshire?

Local weather shapes the specification. England averages roughly 870 mm of rain a year; the Pennine side of Yorkshire is wetter and windier than the east, so we specify for the site rather than the county. Across East Riding of Yorkshire, flat roofs are typically found on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers, 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 East Riding of Yorkshire?

Warm roof insulation upgrades

In a place like East Riding of Yorkshire, homeowners usually think about insulation when the roof covering is worn out. That is the right moment, because the thermal rules normally apply to a replacement over a heated room, and adding insulation then costs far less than doing it separately later.

Flat roof replacement

A flat roof in East Riding of Yorkshire is often worth replacing because it is the weak point of the building: heat escapes through an uninsulated deck, rooms below are cold in winter and hot in summer, and condensation marks the ceiling. A warm-roof replacement deals with comfort as well as leaks, so it is worth considering before the roof fails outright.

Green and sedum roofs

If you're replacing an old flat roof in East Riding of Yorkshire, it's worth deciding whether to add sedum at the same time. If the structure can take it, that is the ideal moment, because the waterproofing is new and the green layers won't need lifting for a long time.

Building regulations in England

Replacing more than half of a flat roof over a heated room usually counts as renovating a thermal element, so the roof is insulated to around 0.16 W/m²K where that's technically and economically feasible, and the work is notified to building control: the council or a registered building control approver, unless a registered competent person self-certifies it. A roof on a new extension is built to 0.15 W/m²K. Patch repairs, and most unheated detached garages, don't trigger the upgrade. Structural changes, or a new covering that adds 15% or more to the roof's weight, also need approval. More on the rules.
