What flat roof work do we do in Deeside?
Commercial flat roofing
We are flat roof specialists, so a commercial roof in Deeside gets a system chosen for the job: single-ply for large, simple areas, built-up felt where there is foot traffic and plant, or a liquid overlay where the existing roof is sound. The survey explains the trade-offs in plain terms.
Green and sedum roofs
Garden rooms and outbuildings in Deeside, as elsewhere, often have small flat roofs that are seen from the house and garden. A sedum finish helps them blend in, provided the structure is strong enough and the roof underneath is built properly.
Extension and kitchen roofs
Selling a house in Deeside 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.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Deeside?
In a town like Deeside flat roofs are mostly on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. Wales averages roughly 1,460 mm of rain a year, among the wettest in Britain, so we design for steady run-off: proper falls, clear outlets and upstands well above the finished roof. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Deeside?
Where approval is needed it goes to Flintshire County Council building control, or a registered building control approver. Welsh guidance is that most re-roofing needs building control approval, so it's worth checking whenever more than a quarter of a roof is replaced or repaired. How the rules work.
