What flat roof work do we do in Aldershot?
Extension and kitchen roofs
If you're fitting a new kitchen under an extension in Aldershot, that's a good time to replace the roof. It makes sense to rebuild the roof before fitting new units, ceilings and lighting below, and the insulation upgrade makes the room more comfortable all year.
Flat roof surveys and leak tracing
Older extensions and garages in Aldershot frequently have felt roofs that have been patched several times. Before paying for another repair, many owners want to know whether the roof has much life left. That is exactly the question a condition survey answers.
Balconies and roof terraces
Owners of flats in Aldershot sometimes find that a neighbour's balcony is leaking into their home. Where a balcony serves one flat but sits over another, the repair needs proper waterproofing and drainage, and a clear written specification helps everyone involved agree the work.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Aldershot?
In a town like Aldershot flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms. The climate is part of the brief. Much of the South East sits in the drier Thames catchment at roughly 730 mm of rain a year, so the usual failures are at joints, upstands and outlets rather than from sheer volume of rain. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Aldershot?
Where approval is needed it goes to Rushmoor 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.
