What flat roof work do we do in Shoreham-by-Sea?
Flat roof surveys and leak tracing
Flat roofs in Shoreham-by-Sea hide their problems well. A covering can look fine while the insulation beneath it is wet or the deck is softening. A survey with moisture readings and core samples shows what's happening under the surface before it reaches the ceiling.
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Converting a garage, loft space or outbuilding to a room in Shoreham-by-Sea changes what the roof needs to do. Once the space is heated, the roof is expected to perform to a higher standard, and a warm build-up is usually the simplest way to get there.
Torch-on felt roofing
For a commercial roof in Shoreham-by-Sea, such as a shop, surgery or club, torch-on felt offers a hard-wearing mineral finish that takes occasional maintenance traffic. Phased work keeps part of the building weathertight while the rest is re-roofed, so the business can usually keep trading.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Shoreham-by-Sea?
In a town like Shoreham-by-Sea flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. Weather matters on a flat roof. 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 Shoreham-by-Sea?
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.
