What flat roof work do we do in Tewkesbury?
Torch-on felt roofing
Torch-on felt is widely specified for blocks of flats and HMOs, in Tewkesbury as elsewhere, because the system is well understood, widely repairable and governed by a British Standard code of practice. Three-layer builds with insulation are common on larger, multi-occupied roofs.
GRP fibreglass roofing
Landlords and small businesses in Tewkesbury often favour GRP on roofs that contractors need to access for plant, aerials or gutter clearance. The surface resists scuffs better than a soft membrane, and small damage can usually be ground back and re-laminated without disturbing the rest of the roof.
Emergency leak repairs
Landlords with flats or HMOs in Tewkesbury are generally expected to deal with leaks promptly once tenants report them. An emergency visit stops the water, and our written report and quote give you what you need to approve the permanent repair.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Tewkesbury?
In a town like Tewkesbury flat roofs are mostly on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. 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. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Tewkesbury?
Where approval is needed it goes to Tewkesbury Borough 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.
