What do block and HMO roofs in Pembroke need?
When a roof over heated flats in Pembroke 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 top-floor flats are better insulated.
In and around Pembroke, flat roofs are typically found on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers, and on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. 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 much does a block or HMO roof cost in Pembroke?
For Pembroke we use Wales rates: £14,300–£25,000 is the guide for a 150 m² block-of-flats roof in felt with insulation and scaffold, VAT included. The fixed price comes after a free survey for new and replacement roofs.
| Job | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Block of flats (150 m²), felt + insulation + scaffold | £14,300–£25,000 |
| Commercial roof (100 m²), single-ply + insulation | £12,150–£20,050 |
How do you manage access and residents during the work?
We agree an access and communication plan with the agent or freeholder before the scaffold goes up, so residents know what is happening and when.
That usually covers notices in the common parts and letters to each flat, scaffold and skip positions, keeping entrances, escape routes and bin stores clear, working hours, securing the scaffold out of hours, and a named contact for questions. If we need to look at a ceiling inside a top-floor flat, we arrange access through the agent or landlord.
Occupied blocks are re-roofed in phases, with each section watertight before the team leaves site, which also lets a larger roof be spread over more than one service charge year. Hot works near windows, vents and escape routes are tightly controlled, or avoided altogether with cold-applied systems.
What's included?
- Resident notices, access planning and phased work
- Free survey and fixed, itemised written quote
- Long-life systems: mastic asphalt, EPDM, single-ply and built-up felt
- Building control and insulation upgrades handled where needed
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.

How much does a block or HMO roof cost in Pembroke?
£14,300–£25,000 for a 150 m² block-of-flats roof in felt with insulation and scaffold, at Wales guide rates including VAT. The fixed price comes after a free survey for new and replacement roofs.
Can a block roof be replaced in phases?
Yes. Larger roofs can be split into sections over one or more budget years, with each phase priced separately and each section left watertight before the team leaves site.

We can attend for emergency temporary weatherproofing as soon as a team is available, guide £170–£410. That protects the flat while the permanent work is agreed.
