What flat roof work do we do in Coventry?

Flat roof replacement

Exposure matters too. Wind lifts tired edges, and repeated wetting and drying works at old joints, so roofs in exposed spots can wear faster than the same roof somewhere sheltered. Wherever your property is in Coventry, a survey tells you whether the roof has years left or needs replacing now.

Flat roof repairs

In a place like Coventry, flat roofs usually sit over garages, rear extensions, dormers and bays, and they take the full force of the weather with little margin for error. A single failed lap or a cracked upstand is enough to let water into a kitchen, bedroom or hallway below.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Extension roofs in Coventry 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.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Coventry?

In a city like Coventry 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. 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 Coventry?

Where approval is needed it goes to Coventry City 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.
