Which flat roofs are common in West Yorkshire?

Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. England averages roughly 870 mm of rain a year; the Pennine side of Yorkshire is wetter and windier than the east, so we specify for the site rather than the county. Across West Yorkshire, flat roofs are typically found on lock-up garage blocks on estates, shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Which flat roof jobs do we take on in West Yorkshire?

Commercial flat roofing

A commercial re-roof in West Yorkshire has to fit around customers, staff and deliveries. We agree working hours, skip positions and access routes before we start, keep fire exits clear throughout, and choose a flame-free system where your site does not allow hot works near stock or occupied rooms.

Flat roof replacement

A mineral felt roof laid decades ago may still look intact from the ground in West Yorkshire, yet have lost its chippings, cracked at the laps and pulled away at the upstands. Those faults let water track under the covering, so by the time a ceiling stain appears, the deck has often been wet for some time.

Green and sedum roofs

Garden rooms and outbuildings in West Yorkshire, as elsewhere, often have small flat roofs that are seen from the house and garden. A sedum finish helps them blend in, provided the structure is strong enough and the roof underneath is built properly.

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.
