What do block and HMO roofs in Kirkby in Ashfield need?
Leaseholders in Kirkby in Ashfield want to see where their money goes. Our itemised quotes show each element of the job separately, including scaffold, insulation and provisional sums for hidden defects, which makes them easier to share and compare when the freeholder or agent is consulting on the work.
In and around Kirkby in Ashfield, flat roofs are typically found on low-rise post-war blocks of flats, and on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms. The East Midlands is drier than the west of Britain, so most flat roofs here fail through age, UV and poor detailing at upstands rather than sheer rainfall.

How does Section 20 consultation affect roof works?
In England and Wales, if leaseholders pay for roof works through the service charge and any one leaseholder's share will be over the statutory threshold, the freeholder or managing agent must consult them under Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 before the work is contracted.
The consultation is run by the freeholder or agent, not by us. It usually involves a notice of intention and then estimates shared with leaseholders, each stage with time for comments, and missing a step can limit what can be recovered through the service charge. Take advice from your agent or a specialist adviser if you are unsure; we don't give legal advice.
What we provide is an itemised written quote that is easy to share and compare: system and build-up, roof area, scaffold and access, insulation, outlets, upstands and trims, waste disposal, provisional sums for hidden defects such as deck repairs, and VAT shown clearly. We can price more than one system on the same scope, so leaseholders are comparing like with like.

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.
