What makes a good extension roof in Evesham?
If you're fitting a new kitchen under an extension in Evesham, that's a good time to replace the roof. It makes sense to rebuild the roof before fitting new units, ceilings and lighting below, and the insulation upgrade makes the room more comfortable all year.
In and around Evesham, flat roofs are typically found on shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats, and on low-rise post-war blocks of flats. England averages roughly 870 mm of rain a year and the West Midlands sits close to that, so falls and outlets are the difference between a roof that drains and one that ponds.

Does an extension roof replacement need building regulations?
Usually, yes. An extension roof over a heated room is a thermal element, so replacing most of it typically brings insulation requirements and an approval route.
In England, renovating more than half of the roof means upgrading it towards 0.16 W/m²K where that is technically, functionally and economically feasible. The approval comes from building control or a competent person scheme. A brand-new extension roof is designed to 0.15. Wales usually requires approval for most re-roofing, with a renovation target of 0.16 and a new-extension target of 0.13. Scotland handles this through building standards and the warrant process, and Northern Ireland through district council building control.
Planning is not normally needed to re-cover an extension roof that looks broadly the same afterwards. Turning the roof into a terrace is another matter. We handle building control where the job needs it; see our building regulations page.

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.

£2,800–£4,900 for a 20 m² extension roof in EPDM with a new deck and insulation, at West Midlands guide rates including VAT. The fixed price comes after a free survey for new and replacement roofs.
How do I know my extension roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
Repeated leaks, a soft deck, wet insulation or widespread cracking point to replacement. A single defect on a dry, sound roof can usually be repaired.
Can you keep my existing roof lantern?
Often, if the lantern itself is sound. We lift it, rebuild the kerb, dress the new membrane up the upstand and refit the lantern.
