What flat roof work do we do in Yeadon?
Garage roofs
Water from a failing garage roof in Yeadon does not always stay in the garage. On an attached garage it can run down the house wall or track under the flashing, and a blocked or broken gutter can spill onto the drive or a neighbour's property. Replacing the roof deals with the source.
Warm roof insulation upgrades
Many flat-roofed extensions and dormers in Yeadon were built with little or no insulation, or with a cold roof that was never properly ventilated. Those rooms are often hard to heat in winter and can suffer condensation, mould and, in time, a rotten deck.
Flat roof surveys and leak tracing
Older extensions and garages in Yeadon frequently have felt roofs that have been patched several times. Before paying for another repair, many owners want to know whether the roof has much life left. That is exactly the question a condition survey answers.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Yeadon?
In a town like Yeadon flat roofs are mostly on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. Weather matters on a flat roof. 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 Yeadon?
Where approval is needed it goes to Leeds 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.
