What flat roof work do we do in Caerleon?
Liquid-applied roofing
For businesses and landlords in Caerleon, 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.
EPDM rubber roofing
Choose EPDM in Caerleon if you want a long service life without paying for a hard, walkable finish you do not need. With good detailing it typically lasts 25 years or more, and manufacturer material guarantees are available on many EPDM systems, registered for you where the system allows.
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Converting a garage, loft space or outbuilding to a room in Caerleon changes what the roof needs to do. Once the space is heated, the roof is expected to perform to a higher standard, and a warm build-up is usually the simplest way to get there.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Caerleon?
In a town like Caerleon flat roofs are mostly on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. 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. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Where approval is needed it goes to Newport City Council building control, or a registered building control approver. Welsh guidance is that most re-roofing needs building control approval, so it's worth checking whenever more than a quarter of a roof is replaced or repaired. How the rules work.
