What flat roof work do we do in Maldon?
Liquid-applied roofing
Choose liquid roofing in Maldon when the shape of the roof makes sheet materials awkward: curved edges, small dormers with many corners, or a mix of levels joined by short upstands. Each detail is reinforced in the same material as the main area, so the whole roof is continuous.
Garage roofs
If your garage in Maldon has an old cement sheet roof, it will eventually crack and let in water. Any suspected asbestos is tested and removed by a licensed specialist first, then the garage can be given new timbers, a deck and a modern membrane that should last for decades with sensible maintenance.
Balconies and roof terraces
Door thresholds are a common reason for balcony work in Maldon. Where a door was fitted with a low step-out and no drainage channel, water driven against the frame finds its way under the sill. Re-waterproofing gives the chance to rebuild that detail properly.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Maldon?
In a town like Maldon flat roofs are mostly on shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. 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 Maldon?
Where approval is needed it goes to Maldon 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.
