What flat roof work do we do in Totton?
Dormer roofs
A dormer roof that has been patched several times in Totton often has layers of old repairs that hide the real fault. Stripping back to the deck shows what has been going on, and lets the team rebuild the back-edge abutment properly rather than sealing over it again.
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Many flat-roofed extensions and dormers in Totton were built with little or no insulation, or with a cold roof that was never properly ventilated. Those rooms are often hard to heat in winter and can suffer condensation, mould and, in time, a rotten deck.
Extension and kitchen roofs
If you're fitting a new kitchen under an extension in Totton, 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.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Totton?
In a town like Totton flat roofs are mostly on shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats and terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms. Local weather shapes the specification. 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 Totton?
Where approval is needed it goes to New Forest 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.
