What flat roof work do we do in Huddersfield?

Balconies and roof terraces

A roof terrace in Huddersfield may be re-waterproofed when the owners want to change the finish, swapping old tiles for decking or porcelain on pedestals. Lifting the surface exposes the membrane, and replacing it then avoids having to lift the new finish again later.

EPDM rubber roofing

EPDM makes sense for a property in Huddersfield when the roof is a straightforward shape, such as a garage or rear extension, and nobody needs to walk on it. A single sheet leaves few joins to fail, and because it is cold-applied there is no naked flame near timber fascias or a lived-in home.

Liquid-applied roofing

For businesses and landlords in Huddersfield, a cold-applied liquid roof means no flame on site and, with some systems, a short cure time. That can make it easier to work around occupied buildings, tenants and opening hours than a system that needs hot works or a long strip-out.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Huddersfield?

In a large town like Huddersfield flat roofs are mostly on shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. The climate is part of the brief. 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. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Who approves flat roof work in Huddersfield?

Where approval is needed it goes to Kirklees 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.
