Which flat roofs are common in Gwynedd?
The climate is part of the brief. 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. Across Gwynedd, flat roofs are typically found on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced, 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Which flat roof jobs do we take on in Gwynedd?
Dormer roofs
If your dormer in Gwynedd was added years ago with a basic felt roof and little insulation, it will tend to fail at the edges first, and they leave the loft room cold in winter and hot in summer. A warm-roof replacement deals with both problems at once.
Garage roofs
If your garage in Gwynedd 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.
EPDM rubber roofing
Rubber is a sensible pick in Gwynedd where a roof sits close to bedrooms or a kitchen and you would rather avoid hot works. It suits porches, bays and dormers too, where the small area means a single sheet can cover the whole roof with no joins at all.
Building regulations in Wales
The Welsh Approved Document L applies. Renovating more than half of a roof over a heated room means upgrading it to around 0.16 W/m²K where feasible, and new extension roofs are built to 0.13 W/m²K. Welsh Government guidance is that most re-roofing needs building control approval, so check whenever more than a quarter of a roof is replaced or repaired. We deal with the application as part of the job. More on the rules.
