What flat roof work do we do in Deal?
Extension and kitchen roofs
If you're fitting a new kitchen under an extension in Deal, 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.
Commercial flat roofing
Owners and agents in Deal can plan spending with a phased programme: urgent repairs now, then re-roofing section by section over one or more budget years. Each phase is priced separately in writing, and the survey and quote for replacement work are free, with no obligation to go ahead.
GRP fibreglass roofing
Some Deal 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.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Deal?
In a town like Deal flat roofs are mostly on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions and terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms. 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 Deal?
Where approval is needed it goes to Dover 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.
