Which flat roofs are common in Monmouthshire?
The climate is part of the brief. Wales averages roughly 1,460 mm of rain a year, among the wettest in Britain, so we design for steady run-off: proper falls, clear outlets and upstands well above the finished roof. Across Monmouthshire, flat roofs are typically found on low-rise post-war blocks of flats, terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Which flat roof jobs do we take on in Monmouthshire?
Balconies and roof terraces
Door thresholds are a common reason for balcony work in Monmouthshire. Where a door was fitted with a low step-out and no drainage channel, water driven against the frame finds its way under the sill. Re-waterproofing gives the chance to rebuild that detail properly.
Single-ply membrane roofing
If a flat roof in Monmouthshire has poor falls and ponding, a single-ply re-roof with tapered insulation can correct both problems at once. The tapered boards build the fall into the insulation, and the membrane is laid over the top, with outlets set at the new low points.
Torch-on felt roofing
For a commercial roof in Monmouthshire, 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.
Building regulations in Wales
The Welsh Approved Document L applies. Renovating more than half of a roof over a heated room means upgrading it to around 0.16 W/m²K where feasible, and new extension roofs are built to 0.13 W/m²K. Welsh Government guidance is that most re-roofing needs building control approval, so check whenever more than a quarter of a roof is replaced or repaired. We deal with the application as part of the job. More on the rules.
