When is a repair the right answer in Brynmawr?
Landlords and managing agents in Brynmawr need a repair done properly once, rather than a quick fix that brings tenants back on the phone a month later. We trace the leak to its source and confirm the price in writing, so the repair can be approved and booked without guesswork.
Around Brynmawr, flat roofs are common on lock-up garage blocks on estates and on 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. 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.

Should I repair or replace my flat roof?
Repair it if the defect is isolated and the rest of the roof is sound, dry and still well within its working life. Replace it if leaks keep coming back, cracking or blistering is widespread, the insulation is wet or the deck feels soft underfoot.
A useful test is to ask whether a repair would still look sensible if a second leak appeared somewhere else a few months later. On a roof near the end of its life, patching one split tends to move the problem rather than solve it, and repeated call-outs soon add up to a large share of the cost of a new roof. On a roof that is a few years old with one storm-damaged lap, a repair is the right answer and we will say so.
Our repair or replace guide sets out the signs in more detail, and the lifespan guide gives typical service lives for each system.
What's included?
- Repairs with materials compatible with your roof system
- Upstands, flashings, laps and seams made good

- Fixed price confirmed in writing before work starts
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.
