Which flat roofs are common in Warwickshire?
Local weather shapes the specification. England averages roughly 870 mm of rain a year and the West Midlands sits close to that, so falls and outlets are the difference between a roof that drains and one that ponds. Across Warwickshire, flat roofs are typically found on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced, lock-up garage blocks on estates and terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Which flat roof jobs do we take on in Warwickshire?
EPDM rubber roofing
If your Warwickshire roof has been patched more than once and the felt is cracking or blistering, a full replacement in EPDM can be better value than another repair. The rubber stays flexible through hot summers and freezing nights, and the replacement is the right point to bring the insulation up to standard.
Flat roof surveys and leak tracing
Landlords and managing agents in Warwickshire 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.
Extension and kitchen roofs
Rooflights fitted after the roof was built are a frequent source of trouble in Warwickshire extensions. If the kerb was not formed properly or the membrane was simply sealed around the frame, leaks follow. Replacing the roof is the chance to rebuild every upstand to a proper standard.
Building regulations in England
Replacing more than half of a flat roof over a heated room usually counts as renovating a thermal element, so the roof is insulated to around 0.16 W/m²K where that's technically and economically feasible, and the work is notified to building control: the council or a registered building control approver, unless a registered competent person self-certifies it. A roof on a new extension is built to 0.15 W/m²K. Patch repairs, and most unheated detached garages, don't trigger the upgrade. Structural changes, or a new covering that adds 15% or more to the roof's weight, also need approval. More on the rules.
