What flat roof work do we do in Kenilworth?
Extension and kitchen roofs
Extension roofs in Kenilworth are often replaced because the original was built cheaply: thin chipboard decks, little or no insulation and felt turned up the wall without a proper flashing. Twenty or thirty years on, those weaknesses show up as leaks at the back wall and a cold, damp ceiling.
Torch-on felt roofing
Torch-on felt is widely specified for blocks of flats and HMOs, in Kenilworth as elsewhere, because the system is well understood, widely repairable and governed by a British Standard code of practice. Three-layer builds with insulation are common on larger, multi-occupied roofs.
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Many flat-roofed extensions and dormers in Kenilworth were built with little or no insulation, or with a cold roof that was never properly ventilated. Those rooms are often hard to heat in winter and can suffer condensation, mould and, in time, a rotten deck.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Kenilworth?
In a town like Kenilworth flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. Weather matters on a flat roof. 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. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Kenilworth?
Where approval is needed it goes to Warwick District 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.
