What flat roof work do we do in Gorseinon?

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Landlords and managing agents in Gorseinon often need a written record of a roof's condition, for budgeting, for leaseholders, or to show a problem has been looked at properly. A survey report gives them a clear basis for deciding when to repair and when to replace.

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

Fire performance matters near boundaries and on occupied buildings in Gorseinon. We check the external fire classification of the whole roof build-up, not just the membrane, control or avoid hot works near escape routes and windows, and keep fire-stopping details intact where the roof crosses a separating wall.

Garage roofs

Water from a failing garage roof in Gorseinon does not always stay in the garage. On an attached garage it can run down the house wall or track under the flashing, and a blocked or broken gutter can spill onto the drive or a neighbour's property. Replacing the roof deals with the source.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Gorseinon?

In a town like Gorseinon flat roofs are mostly on lock-up garage blocks on estates and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. Local weather shapes the specification. 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.

Who approves flat roof work in Gorseinon?

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.
