What flat roof work do we do in Strood?

Extension and kitchen roofs

Selling a house in Strood with a tired extension roof can raise questions in the buyer's survey. A recent replacement, with building control sign-off where needed and written guarantees, gives a buyer confidence and removes a likely point of negotiation.

Torch-on felt roofing

For a commercial roof in Strood, such as a shop, surgery or club, torch-on felt offers a hard-wearing mineral finish that takes occasional maintenance traffic. Phased work keeps part of the building weathertight while the rest is re-roofed, so the business can usually keep trading.

Flat roof replacement

Selling or letting a property in Strood can also prompt a replacement. A buyer's surveyor will usually flag a flat roof near the end of its life, and a recent replacement with written workmanship and material guarantees answers that question before it turns into a negotiation point.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Strood?

In a town like Strood flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. 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.

Where approval is needed it goes to Medway Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
