What flat roof work do we do in Faversham?
Torch-on felt roofing
Where a flat roof in Faversham already has a felt covering and the building owner wants like-for-like, torch-on is the natural replacement. The old roof is stripped, the deck checked and the new layers laid, often with warm-roof insulation added when the space below is heated.
Dormer roofs
Buyers' surveys in Faversham often flag dormer roofs, because they are hard to see from the ground and easy to neglect. A recent replacement, with building control sign-off where needed and written guarantees, answers that question before it becomes a problem in the sale.
Garage roofs
Many garages in Faversham still carry their original mineral felt, which may have been patched several times. Once the chippings have washed off and the laps have split, water gets under the felt and into the deck, and patches stop holding. At that stage a full replacement is the practical fix.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Faversham?
In a town like Faversham flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. 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 Faversham?
Where approval is needed it goes to Swale 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.
