What flat roof work do we do in Gosport?

EPDM rubber roofing

Where an older flat roof in Gosport has a sound structure but a tired covering, EPDM is a straightforward upgrade: strip, check the deck, add a warm-roof build-up if the room below is heated, and bond the new membrane. It also makes a good base for a sedum green roof.

Warm roof insulation upgrades

Landlords with flats and HMOs in Gosport sometimes hear from tenants about cold top-floor rooms and black mould on ceilings. A warm roof upgrade during re-roofing tackles both the heat loss and the condensation behind the mould, and helps keep the roof timbers dry.

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

When a roof over heated flats in Gosport is replaced, insulation rules usually apply. We design the warm-roof build-up towards the required standard where that is feasible and handle building control where it is needed, so the work is signed off properly and the top-floor flats are better insulated.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Gosport?

In a large town like Gosport flat roofs are mostly on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. Weather matters on a flat roof. 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.
