What flat roof work do we do in Liverpool?
GRP fibreglass roofing
GRP is a good choice in Liverpool when the roof will be seen or used: a dormer visible from the street, an extension overlooked by upstairs windows, or a roof that needs access for cleaning or maintenance. The hard, jointless finish and moulded trims give a neat result that copes with occasional foot traffic.
Flat roof surveys and leak tracing
Flat roofs in Liverpool hide their problems well. A covering can look fine while the insulation beneath it is wet or the deck is softening. A survey with moisture readings and core samples shows what's happening under the surface before it reaches the ceiling.
Commercial flat roofing
We are flat roof specialists, so a commercial roof in Liverpool gets a system chosen for the job: single-ply for large, simple areas, built-up felt where there is foot traffic and plant, or a liquid overlay where the existing roof is sound. The survey explains the trade-offs in plain terms.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Liverpool?
In a city like Liverpool flat roofs are mostly on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. Weather matters on a flat roof. The North West is one of England's wetter regions, averaging roughly 1,290 mm of rain a year, so falls, outlets and well-detailed upstands matter more than the membrane colour. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Liverpool?
Where approval is needed it goes to Liverpool City 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.
