Which flat roofs are common in North Yorkshire?

Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. England averages roughly 870 mm of rain a year; the Pennine side of Yorkshire is wetter and windier than the east, so we specify for the site rather than the county. Across North Yorkshire, flat roofs are typically found on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms, lock-up garage blocks on estates and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Which flat roof jobs do we take on in North Yorkshire?

Dormer roofs

A dormer roof that has been patched several times in North Yorkshire often has layers of old repairs that hide the real fault. Stripping back to the deck shows what has been going on, and lets the team rebuild the back-edge abutment properly rather than sealing over it again.

Balconies and roof terraces

Door thresholds are a common reason for balcony work in North Yorkshire. 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.

EPDM rubber roofing

EPDM makes sense for a property in North Yorkshire when the roof is a straightforward shape, such as a garage or rear extension, and nobody needs to walk on it. A single sheet leaves few joins to fail, and because it is cold-applied there is no naked flame near timber fascias or a lived-in home.

Building regulations in England

Replacing more than half of a flat roof over a heated room usually counts as renovating a thermal element, so the roof is insulated to around 0.16 W/m²K where that's technically and economically feasible, and the work is notified to building control: the council or a registered building control approver, unless a registered competent person self-certifies it. A roof on a new extension is built to 0.15 W/m²K. Patch repairs, and most unheated detached garages, don't trigger the upgrade. Structural changes, or a new covering that adds 15% or more to the roof's weight, also need approval. More on the rules.
