What flat roof work do we do in Tadley?
Green and sedum roofs
Rainwater from flat roofs in Tadley runs off quickly in heavy showers. A green roof holds some of that water back and releases it more slowly, which is one reason some owners and developers choose one. The flowering sedum also draws in bees and other insects.
GRP fibreglass roofing
Some Tadley 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.
Torch-on felt roofing
Torch-on felt suits property owners in Tadley who want a dependable, layered roof without paying the top price per square metre. With two or three bonded layers, a single small defect in one sheet need not lead to a leak, which is a real advantage on larger roofs that are hard to inspect often.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Tadley?
In a town like Tadley flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. 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.
Who approves flat roof work in Tadley?
Where approval is needed it goes to Basingstoke and Deane 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.
