What flat roof work do we do in Prestwich?

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

Service charge budgets for blocks in Prestwich do not always stretch to a whole roof at once. We can phase a re-roof over more than one budget year, pricing each phase separately in writing and keeping every section watertight in between, so the building stays protected while the cost is spread.

Torch-on felt roofing

On larger roofs in Prestwich with poor falls, torch-on felt pairs well with tapered insulation, which builds the fall into the insulation boards. That deals with ponding properly while adding insulation, rather than patching the low spots and waiting for the next leak.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Extension roofs in Prestwich are often replaced because the original was built cheaply: thin chipboard decks, little or no insulation and felt turned up the wall without a proper flashing. Twenty or thirty years on, those weaknesses show up as leaks at the back wall and a cold, damp ceiling.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Prestwich?

In a town like Prestwich flat roofs are mostly on low-rise post-war blocks of flats and 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. The climate is part of the brief. The North West is one of England's wetter regions, averaging roughly 1,290 mm of rain a year, so falls, outlets and well-detailed upstands matter more than the membrane colour. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Who approves flat roof work in Prestwich?

Where approval is needed it goes to Bury 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.
