What flat roof work do we do in Woking?
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Landlords with flats and HMOs in Woking sometimes hear from tenants about cold top-floor rooms and black mould on ceilings. A warm roof upgrade during re-roofing tackles both the heat loss and the condensation behind the mould, and helps keep the roof timbers dry.
Extension and kitchen roofs
If you're fitting a new kitchen under an extension in Woking, that's a good time to replace the roof. It makes sense to rebuild the roof before fitting new units, ceilings and lighting below, and the insulation upgrade makes the room more comfortable all year.
Commercial flat roofing
Safety planning matters on commercial sites in Woking. Every job is planned under CDM, with a method statement, edge protection and covers over rooflights and fragile areas. If asbestos is found, a licensed specialist surveys and removes it before our work starts, so nobody is put at risk.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Woking?
In a large town like Woking flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. Much of the South East sits in the drier Thames catchment at roughly 730 mm of rain a year, so the usual failures are at joints, upstands and outlets rather than from sheer volume of rain. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Woking?
Where approval is needed it goes to Woking 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.
