What flat roof work do we do in Maidstone?

EPDM rubber roofing

If your Maidstone roof has been patched more than once and the felt is cracking or blistering, a full replacement in EPDM can be better value than another repair. The rubber stays flexible through hot summers and freezing nights, and the replacement is the right point to bring the insulation up to standard.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Condensation drives some replacements in Maidstone. Older extension roofs were often built cold, with insulation between the joists and no reliable vapour control. Warm air from the kitchen reaches the cold deck, moisture builds up and the timber suffers. A warm roof deals with the cause, not just the stain.

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Businesses in Maidstone with a flat-roofed building can't plan maintenance around guesswork. A survey sets out what needs doing now, what can wait and roughly what each item will cost, so the work can be scheduled with as little disruption as possible.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Maidstone?

In a large town like Maidstone flat roofs are mostly on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms. The climate is part of the brief. 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 Maidstone?

Where approval is needed it goes to Maidstone 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.
