Which flat roofs are common in Gloucestershire?

The climate is part of the brief. 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. Across Gloucestershire, flat roofs are typically found on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions, bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers 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 Gloucestershire?

Single-ply membrane roofing

For a commercial roof in Gloucestershire with rooflights, plant and outlets, single-ply's welded details give a consistent finish. Pre-formed corners, membrane-coated trims and welded kerbs are all made in the same material as the main roof, which keeps the roof consistent and simplifies any future repairs.

Garage roofs

Water from a failing garage roof in Gloucestershire does not always stay in the garage. On an attached garage it can run down the house wall or track under the flashing, and a blocked or broken gutter can spill onto the drive or a neighbour's property. Replacing the roof deals with the source.

Torch-on felt roofing

Where a flat roof in Gloucestershire already has a felt covering and the building owner wants like-for-like, torch-on is the natural replacement. The old roof is stripped, the deck checked and the new layers laid, often with warm-roof insulation added when the space below is heated.

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.
