What flat roof work do we do in Yeovil?
Emergency leak repairs
Older felt roofs in Yeovil 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.
Flat roof repairs
Flat roofs in Yeovil face the same enemies as anywhere else: rain driven against walls, leaves blocking outlets, sun drying out older felt and frost opening small cracks. People tend to notice when a stain appears on a ceiling after a storm, or when water is still sitting on the roof days after rain.
Commercial flat roofing
When a roof over heated space in Yeovil is replaced, insulation rules usually apply. We design the warm-roof build-up towards the required standard where that is feasible and handle building control where it is needed, so the work is signed off properly and the building is better insulated afterwards.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Yeovil?
In a large town like Yeovil flat roofs are mostly on lock-up garage blocks on estates and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. The South West averages roughly 1,260 mm of rain a year and many roofs face wind off the Atlantic, so we specify fixings and edge details for wind uplift as well as drainage. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Yeovil?
Where approval is needed it goes to Somerset 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.
