What flat roof work do we do in Fleet?
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Kitchen extensions in Fleet, as elsewhere, produce a lot of moisture from cooking. Under a cold flat roof, that moisture can condense on the deck. A warm roof keeps the deck warm and puts a vapour control layer in the way, which lowers the risk considerably.
Dormer roofs
Buyers' surveys in Fleet often flag dormer roofs, because they are hard to see from the ground and easy to neglect. A recent replacement, with building control sign-off where needed and written guarantees, answers that question before it becomes a problem in the sale.
Torch-on felt roofing
Where a flat roof in Fleet already has a felt covering and the building owner wants like-for-like, torch-on is the natural replacement. The old roof is stripped, the deck checked and the new layers laid, often with warm-roof insulation added when the space below is heated.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Fleet?
In a town like Fleet flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. 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 Fleet?
Where approval is needed it goes to Hart 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.
