What flat roof work do we do in Bordon?
GRP fibreglass roofing
Some Bordon homeowners pick GRP for appearance alone. The topcoat comes in several colours, the trims are moulded to match, and the finished roof looks tidy from upstairs windows. With good laying conditions and a sound deck, a GRP roof typically lasts 20 years or more.
Green and sedum roofs
Garden rooms and outbuildings in Bordon, as elsewhere, often have small flat roofs that are seen from the house and garden. A sedum finish helps them blend in, provided the structure is strong enough and the roof underneath is built properly.
Dormer roofs
In Bordon, as anywhere, it often makes sense to replace a dormer roof while scaffold is already up for other work, such as new windows, rendering or repairs to the main roof. Sharing the scaffold keeps costs down and means every edge of the dormer can be checked at the same time.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Bordon?
In a town like Bordon 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. 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 Bordon?
Where approval is needed it goes to East Hampshire District 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.
