Which options suit homes in Kingstanding?

Roof lights and outlets

Flat roof lanterns and flat glass roof lights can be fitted or replaced at the same time as a new roof. Outlets, gutters and edge trims are renewed so water runs away cleanly. Getting the fall right during the deck replacement is the best way to stop water pooling, which shortens a roof's life.

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 do I book a survey in Kingstanding?

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.

How should I prepare for a new flat roof?

Clear the garage or room below of valuables in case of dust from the deck, and move cars if the skip or materials need the drive. Let us know about any satellite dishes, vents or pipes on the roof. If the roof is next to a neighbour's wall or boundary, a quick word with them about access helps.

Will I need permission from the council in Kingstanding?

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