Which flat roofs are common in Rhondda Cynon Taf?

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 Rhondda Cynon Taf, flat roofs are typically found on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms, 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches 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 Rhondda Cynon Taf?

Torch-on felt roofing

For a commercial roof in Rhondda Cynon Taf, 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.

Emergency leak repairs

Older felt roofs in Rhondda Cynon Taf that have lost their chippings dry out and crack, and a cold snap can open those cracks enough to let water through. A temporary repair stops the immediate leak, but a roof like that often needs a frank conversation about replacement.

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

Service charge budgets for blocks in Rhondda Cynon Taf do not always stretch to a whole roof at once. We can phase a re-roof over more than one budget year, pricing each phase separately in writing and keeping every section watertight in between, so the building stays protected while the cost is spread.

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.
