What flat roof work do we do in Stevenage?
Single-ply membrane roofing
Single-ply also works on an extension or garage in Stevenage if you want a light, clean finish in a pale colour. On small roofs it is usually adhered, and while it can cost more than EPDM, it gives the same welded seams and details found on commercial roofs.
Green and sedum roofs
In a place like Stevenage, many people look out over a flat extension or garage roof from upstairs. Grey felt or rubber isn't much of a view, and a sedum roof turns it into something green that changes colour through the seasons and flowers in summer.
Flat roof replacement
A sensible moment to replace a flat roof in Stevenage is when other work is planned on the house, such as a kitchen refit below, new windows or a loft conversion. Doing the roof first protects the new work, and it is the natural time to upgrade insulation to the level the regulations expect for a renovated roof.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Stevenage?
In a large town like Stevenage flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and lock-up garage blocks on estates. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. The East of England is the driest part of Britain, with parts of the Anglian region around 630 mm a year, so summer heat and UV, not rainfall, do most of the ageing on a felt roof. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Stevenage?
Where approval is needed it goes to Stevenage 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.
