Which options suit homes in Kenilworth?

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Kenilworth?

Expect to budget between £1,300 and £7,500 depending on size and specification in Kenilworth. Strip and replace a 20 m² rear extension roof in EPDM, with new deck and warm-roof insulation: typically £3,200–£4,600.

Questions about flat roofing in Kenilworth

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.

How do I book a survey in Kenilworth?

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 Warwick District Council need to approve my flat roof?

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