What flat roof work do we do in Wallasey?

Extension and kitchen roofs

Ponding against the house wall is a common reason for replacing an extension roof in Wallasey. When the deck dips near the wall or the fall runs the wrong way, water sits against the abutment and eventually gets in. A new roof with corrected falls moves the water to the gutter.

GRP fibreglass roofing

If a flat roof in Wallasey has already been patched with fibreglass that keeps cracking, a full GRP replacement on a new, properly fixed deck often solves the problem. Cracks usually come from movement in the boards beneath, so renewing the deck and reinforcing the joints deals with the cause.

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Older extensions and garages in Wallasey frequently have felt roofs that have been patched several times. Before paying for another repair, many owners want to know whether the roof has much life left. That is exactly the question a condition survey answers.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Wallasey?

In a large town like Wallasey flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms. The climate is part of the brief. 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 Wallasey?

Where approval is needed it goes to Wirral 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.
