Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council is the authority.
- Most flat roof leaks start at edges, joints, outlets or wall abutments.
- Because a warm-roof build-up raises the roof level, door thresholds and upstands need checking.
- Turning a flat roof into a pitched roof, or adding a roof terrace, usually needs planning permission.

Choices to weigh up in Bedworth
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.
GRP fibreglass roof
Glass-reinforced plastic laid as a liquid resin and matting over a board deck, which cures into a hard, joint-free, walkable surface. GRP works well on roofs with awkward shapes, roof lights and balconies, and comes in grey and other colours. It must be laid in dry conditions and needs a stable deck.

Questions about flat roofing in Bedworth
What guarantee comes with a flat roof?
The membrane and related materials are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your roof are set out in your quote. Some manufacturers' guarantees depend on the roof being installed to their specification and inspected, which is worth asking about. Keep the paperwork with your building regulations certificate.
Do you cover Bedworth?
Yes. Bedworth (CV12) is about 22 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.
How long does a flat roof replacement take?
A single garage roof usually takes one or two days, and an extension or dormer roof two to five days, depending on size, insulation and detailing. Flat roofing needs dry weather, especially GRP, so we may move a start date if heavy rain is forecast. The roof is kept covered overnight throughout.
Who approves flat roofing in Bedworth?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Bedworth is provided by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
