What flat roof work do we do in Clydach?

GRP fibreglass roofing

For a garage or extension in Clydach that doubles as a step-out space for window cleaning, GRP gives a firmer footing than a rubber membrane. With an anti-slip topcoat it handles light, occasional use, though a full terrace needs its own specification and, in many cases, planning permission.

Balconies and roof terraces

Owners of flats in Clydach sometimes find that a neighbour's balcony is leaking into their home. Where a balcony serves one flat but sits over another, the repair needs proper waterproofing and drainage, and a clear written specification helps everyone involved agree the work.

Single-ply membrane roofing

For a commercial roof in Clydach with rooflights, plant and outlets, single-ply's welded details give a consistent finish. Pre-formed corners, membrane-coated trims and welded kerbs are all made in the same material as the main roof, which keeps the roof consistent and simplifies any future repairs.

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. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Where approval is needed it goes to Swansea Council building control, or a registered building control approver. Welsh guidance is that most re-roofing needs building control approval, so it's worth checking whenever more than a quarter of a roof is replaced or repaired. How the rules work.
