What flat roofs are typical in and around Frinton-on-Sea?
In a town like Frinton-on-Sea flat roofs are mostly on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions and lock-up garage blocks on estates. Weather matters on a flat roof. The East of England is the driest part of Britain, with parts of the Anglian region around 630 mm a year, so summer heat and UV, not rainfall, do most of the ageing on a felt roof. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Frinton-on-Sea?
Where approval is needed it goes to Tendring District 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.
