Flat roofing in Warwickshire

What should you know before starting in Warwickshire?

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Warwickshire, building control is provided by the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Rotten decking is only found once the old roof is stripped, and any repair is agreed in writing first.
Most flat roof leaks start at edges, joints, outlets or wall abutments.
The target U-value for a renovated roof is 0.16 W/m²K, where that's practical.

Options to consider in Warwickshire

Warm-roof insulation upgrade

Rigid insulation boards are laid on top of the deck, under the new membrane, so the timbers stay warm and the risk of condensation drops. A warm roof raises the roof level slightly, which affects upstands, door thresholds and window cills. We check those details at survey before recommending it.

Torch-on felt

Modern reinforced bitumen membranes laid in two or three layers, bonded with heat. They're tougher and longer-lasting than old felt and suit roofs with lots of upstands and pipes. Felt is often the cheapest option, but it takes longer to lay and naked flames on site need extra fire precautions.

Your questions answered

How should I prepare for a new flat roof?

Clear the garage or room below of valuables in case of dust from the deck, and move cars if the skip or materials need the drive. Let us know about any satellite dishes, vents or pipes on the roof. If the roof is next to a neighbour's wall or boundary, a quick word with them about access helps.
