What flat roof work do we do in Redcar?
Extension and kitchen roofs
Extension roofs in Redcar are often replaced because the original was built cheaply: thin chipboard decks, little or no insulation and felt turned up the wall without a proper flashing. Twenty or thirty years on, those weaknesses show up as leaks at the back wall and a cold, damp ceiling.
Single-ply membrane roofing
Single-ply often suits blocks and mixed-use buildings in Redcar because no flame is used on the roof, which can make work around residents and businesses easier to plan. Hot-air welding still needs care, but the fire risk is lower than with torch-on.
Torch-on felt roofing
Torch-on felt suits property owners in Redcar who want a dependable, layered roof without paying the top price per square metre. With two or three bonded layers, a single small defect in one sheet need not lead to a leak, which is a real advantage on larger roofs that are hard to inspect often.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Redcar?
In a town like Redcar flat roofs are mostly on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions and lock-up garage blocks on estates. The climate is part of the brief. 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. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Redcar?
Where approval is needed it goes to Redcar & Cleveland Borough 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.
