Which options suit homes in Bloxwich?

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.

EPDM rubber roof

A single sheet of synthetic rubber bonded to the deck, often in one piece with no joints on smaller roofs. EPDM handles temperature changes well, is quick to lay and needs little maintenance. It's a good all-round choice for garages and extensions, though it has a plain black finish and needs care around complex details.

In the West Midlands, re-covering a single garage roof usually costs around £1,300–£2,600, and a 20–30 m² extension roof around £2,400–£5,200, depending on the membrane, deck repairs and insulation. Dormer roofs cost more because of access. Your quote names the membrane and lists deck work and insulation separately.

How do I book a survey in Bloxwich?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your flat roof and arrange a time to visit.

Why does my flat roof leak when the surface looks fine?

Most leaks start at the edges, joints, outlets or where the roof meets a wall, not in the open middle of the roof. Water can also travel along the deck before it shows on the ceiling, so the stain may be a long way from the actual entry point. We check these details at survey before suggesting a repair or replacement.

Does Walsall Council need to approve my flat roof?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Bloxwich is provided by Walsall Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
