What flat roof work do we do in Newham?

Liquid-applied roofing

For businesses and landlords in Newham, a cold-applied liquid roof means no flame on site and, with some systems, a short cure time. That can make it easier to work around occupied buildings, tenants and opening hours than a system that needs hot works or a long strip-out.

Flat roof replacement

A flat roof in Newham is often worth replacing because it is the weak point of the building: heat escapes through an uninsulated deck, rooms below are cold in winter and hot in summer, and condensation marks the ceiling. A warm-roof replacement deals with comfort as well as leaks, so it is worth considering before the roof fails outright.

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Businesses in Newham 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 Newham?

In a town like Newham flat roofs are mostly on kitchen extensions and roof terraces behind period houses and shops with flat-roofed stores below flats above. Local weather shapes the specification. The Thames basin is one of the drier parts of Britain at roughly 730 mm of rain a year, but summer heat is the bigger test here: dark membranes on south-facing roofs swing a long way in temperature. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Who approves flat roof work in Newham?

Where approval is needed it goes to London Borough of Newham 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.
