Which flat roofs are common in County Antrim?
Flat roofs in County Antrim sit on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions, newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches. Northern Ireland averages roughly 1,150 mm of rain a year, spread over many wet days, so a roof that sheds water quickly to clear outlets lasts far longer than one that holds puddles. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Building control in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, renovating or replacing a roof over a heated room usually means meeting Technical Booklet F1, and building control should be contacted before work starts. Technical Booklet F1 sets roof insulation at 0.18 W/m²K when a roof over a heated room is renovated or newly built, where feasible. In County Antrim the application goes to Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council and 1 other council. More on the rules.
Can you work around our trading hours and site rules?
Yes. Most commercial roofs can be replaced while the building stays open, and we agree the programme with you before any work starts.
That normally means set working hours, delivery and skip positions that keep entrances and fire exits clear, and phasing the roof so each section is watertight before the team leaves site. Noisy tasks such as strip-out can be timed for quieter periods, and early starts or weekend working can be arranged where your site allows. We tell you in advance which areas below the roof may be affected, so stock and equipment can be protected or moved.
Where torch-on felt is specified, the team works under your hot works permit system, with a fire watch after the torch is put away. If your site does not allow naked flames, we specify a cold-applied, self-adhesive or other flame-free system instead. Tenants, alarm companies and mechanical contractors are coordinated through one named contact.

Do you work on school roofs?
Yes, where the school or its managing body appoints its own contractor. If your procurement rules require a framework contractor, check that before asking us to quote.
Do you need a hot works permit?
Only if torch-on felt or other naked-flame work is used, in which case the team works under your permit system with a fire watch afterwards. Where hot works are not allowed, we specify a flame-free system such as a cold-applied membrane.
Can you re-roof while our premises stay open?
Usually, yes. We phase the work so each section is watertight before the team leaves site, keep entrances and fire exits clear, and agree working hours and deliveries with you first.
