What do commercial flat roofs in Wimborne Minster need?
When a roof over heated space in Wimborne Minster is replaced, insulation rules usually apply. We design the warm-roof build-up towards the required standard where that is feasible and handle building control where it is needed, so the work is signed off properly and the building is better insulated afterwards.
In a town like Wimborne Minster, flat roofs are commonly found on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches or low-rise post-war blocks of flats. The South West averages roughly 1,260 mm of rain a year and many roofs face wind off the Atlantic, so we specify fixings and edge details for wind uplift as well as drainage.

How do you handle CDM, roof access and fragile surfaces?
Every job is planned under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, or CDM (NI) 2016 in Northern Ireland, with a construction phase plan and a method statement for the roof.
As a commercial client you have duties under CDM too, including passing on information about the building, such as drawings, details of previous roof work and the asbestos register. Buildings put up before 2000 can contain asbestos, so we ask for the register or a refurbishment survey before pricing a strip-out. If asbestos is found, a licensed specialist surveys and removes it before we start.
Roofs and rooflights are treated as fragile until a competent person confirms otherwise. Edge protection goes up on every job, rooflights and fragile sheets are covered or fenced off, and we agree safe access before work starts: scaffold, a tower, a powered access platform or a fixed access point where one is suitable.
What's included?
- Written workmanship guarantee, with manufacturer guarantees registered where the system allows
- Free survey and fixed written quote for replacement and new roofs
- CDM planning, edge protection and fragile-surface controls on every job
- Warm-roof insulation upgrades and building control where needed
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.

Yes. We can price a phased programme with each section shown separately, starting with the most urgent areas, so you can plan the spend while the building stays protected.
