What flat roof work do we do in Arnold?
GRP fibreglass roofing
Landlords and small businesses in Arnold often favour GRP on roofs that contractors need to access for plant, aerials or gutter clearance. The surface resists scuffs better than a soft membrane, and small damage can usually be ground back and re-laminated without disturbing the rest of the roof.
Torch-on felt roofing
Where a flat roof in Arnold already has a felt covering and the building owner wants like-for-like, torch-on is the natural replacement. The old roof is stripped, the deck checked and the new layers laid, often with warm-roof insulation added when the space below is heated.
Liquid-applied roofing
For businesses and landlords in Arnold, 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.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Arnold?
In a town like Arnold flat roofs are mostly on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. The climate is part of the brief. The East Midlands is drier than the west of Britain, so most flat roofs here fail through age, UV and poor detailing at upstands rather than sheer rainfall. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Arnold?
Where approval is needed it goes to Gedling 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.
