- Getting the fall right stops water pooling, which shortens the life of any membrane.
- Because a warm-roof build-up raises the roof level, door thresholds and upstands need checking.
- The target U-value for a renovated roof is 0.16 W/m²K, where that's practical.

Which option fits your home?
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.
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.
How much should you budget in Cannock?

Questions about flat roofing in Cannock
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.
Which postcodes in Cannock do you work in?
We cover WS11 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Cannock, neighbouring Heath Hayes and Hednesford are covered too.
How much does a new flat roof cost?
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.
Who approves flat roofing in Cannock?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Cannock is provided by Cannock Chase District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
