Flat roofing in Byker

Byker is an eastern inner-city area best known for the iconic Byker Wall housing. The housing stock is dominated by the famous Byker Wall (Ralph Erskine, 1970s) with its complex flat-roof terraces, plus a great deal of earlier Tyneside flat housing. That mix is what we mostly see when we get out there with the van — the typical job is a repair or replacement on one of those property types, where the original flat roof has reached the end of its service life or where a localised detail has failed.

What we install in Byker

For most domestic flat roof work in Byker the right answer is one of three systems:

  • EPDM rubber — our default for garage roofs, kitchen extensions and dormers. Seamless on smaller roofs, 25–50 year material life, fully bonded with no risk of leaks at lap joints.
  • GRP fibreglass — for balconies, dormer roofs and any flat roof people walk on. Hard-wearing topcoat, takes anti-slip aggregate, walkable straight after install.
  • Three-layer torch-on felt — for complex shapes, chimney upstands and overlays of existing felt roofs in good condition.

For larger or commercial flat roofs in Byker we'd typically specify Sika Sarnafil or IKO Armourplan single-ply membrane, mechanically fixed to insulated decks, with full manufacturer warranty of up to 25 years.

Active leaks in Byker are normally seen the same working day — usually within 60–90 minutes from the call, depending on traffic. We treat anything water-into-room as priority and respond accordingly.

Is there a particular flat roof issue common in Byker?

A high proportion of properties here have original 1960s or 70s built-up felt on small flat-roof additions and porches — most of these are now well past their service life. The common job is full replacement in EPDM, often combined with insulation upgrade to current Building Regs.
