What do commercial flat roofs in Caerleon need?
Owners and agents in Caerleon can plan spending with a phased programme: urgent repairs now, then re-roofing section by section over one or more budget years. Each phase is priced separately in writing, and the survey and quote for replacement work are free, with no obligation to go ahead.
In a town like Caerleon, flat roofs are commonly found on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions or shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. Wales averages roughly 1,460 mm of rain a year, among the wettest in Britain, so we design for steady run-off: proper falls, clear outlets and upstands well above the finished roof.

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?
- Free survey and fixed written quote for replacement and new roofs
- Warm-roof insulation upgrades and building control where needed
- Written workmanship guarantee, with manufacturer guarantees registered where the system allows
- CDM planning, edge protection and fragile-surface controls on every job
Building regulations in Wales
The Welsh Approved Document L applies. Renovating more than half of a roof over a heated room means upgrading it to around 0.16 W/m²K where feasible, and new extension roofs are built to 0.13 W/m²K. Welsh Government guidance is that most re-roofing needs building control approval, so check whenever more than a quarter of a roof is replaced or repaired. We deal with the application as part of the job. More on the rules.

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.
