Flat Roofs

Flat roofs are constructed basically with joists spanning the gap between two walls, covered by sheet timber or other material.

In the case of timber roof a further, waterproof cover is required. The weight of these last two roof coverings, together with the span, form the basis of the calculation for the size of roof joists required. A further part of this equation is discovered in Approved document A of the Building Regulations (Structure) where the possible snow loadings on roof, depending on area of the country and height above the ordinance datum, are taken into consideration. It is therefore important, before building your roofing structure that you have the desired building regulation approval. There are 8 “maximum span” tables in the regulations, which deal with the loading and roof span of the flat roof together with any slight pitch over 10 degrees that it may have to dispose of rainwater.

  • Open Question: Does this make you want to read on?

    Please give me your opinion of this as the beginning of a story, and what do you think it would be about? It was a crisp February morning and snow covered the affluent west London street, where I tramped along in my Wellingtons, going to the place where I was meant to go. The pavements were slippery, but economic conditions were safe. I was ignorant of these economic conditions which fed and clothed me, gave me a roof over my head and four centrally heated walls, yet subjected me to the lowliest living conditions imaginable. I was walking the cold city streets alone without a second thought, yet what I was about to do spoke of unspeakable poverty between these two rows of flats. My name was Charlotte Cox, I was 21 and employed by the Marigolds Domestic Cleaning Company. But enough about me, or who I was at that point; I had come to the place where I was going.
