What flat roof work do we do in Earl Shilton?
Dormer roofs
If your dormer in Earl Shilton was added years ago with a basic felt roof and little insulation, it will tend to fail at the edges first, and they leave the loft room cold in winter and hot in summer. A warm-roof replacement deals with both problems at once.
Emergency leak repairs
Businesses in Earl Shilton can't trade properly with water dripping onto the shop floor or into an office. An emergency visit makes the roof temporarily weathertight, and the inspection that follows tells you whether a repair will hold or the roof needs replacing.
Flat roof repairs
Older flat roofs in Earl Shilton, as elsewhere, are often covered in felt that has lost its chippings and dried out. One leak on a roof like that is a warning sign. We repair it, check the rest of the covering and tell you honestly whether replacement belongs in next year's budget.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Earl Shilton?
In a town like Earl Shilton flat roofs are mostly on shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. Local weather shapes the specification. The East Midlands is drier than the west of Britain, so most flat roofs here fail through age, UV and poor detailing at upstands rather than sheer rainfall. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Earl Shilton?
Where approval is needed it goes to Hinckley and Bosworth 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.
