What flat roof work do we do in Lancing?

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

Service charge budgets for blocks in Lancing do not always stretch to a whole roof at once. We can phase a re-roof over more than one budget year, pricing each phase separately in writing and keeping every section watertight in between, so the building stays protected while the cost is spread.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Selling a house in Lancing with a tired extension roof can raise questions in the buyer's survey. A recent replacement, with building control sign-off where needed and written guarantees, gives a buyer confidence and removes a likely point of negotiation.

Flat roof replacement

A sensible moment to replace a flat roof in Lancing is when other work is planned on the house, such as a kitchen refit below, new windows or a loft conversion. Doing the roof first protects the new work, and it is the natural time to upgrade insulation to the level the regulations expect for a renovated roof.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Lancing?

In a town like Lancing flat roofs are mostly on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. Local weather shapes the specification. Much of the South East sits in the drier Thames catchment at roughly 730 mm of rain a year, so the usual failures are at joints, upstands and outlets rather than from sheer volume of rain. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Who approves flat roof work in Lancing?

Where approval is needed it goes to Adur 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.
