What should you know before starting in Netherton?
Work like this in Netherton rarely needs planning permission, but parts of the job must meet Building Regulations — certified electrical work, ventilation or energy-efficiency standards, for example. Your quote shows how each part is signed off. If planning does come into it, say for a listed building, Dudley Council is the authority.
- The target U-value for a renovated roof is 0.16 W/m²K, where that's practical.
- Most flat roof leaks start at edges, joints, outlets or wall abutments.
- Getting the fall right stops water pooling, which shortens the life of any membrane.

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.
Torch-on felt
Modern reinforced bitumen membranes laid in two or three layers, bonded with heat. They're tougher and longer-lasting than old felt and suit roofs with lots of upstands and pipes. Felt is often the cheapest option, but it takes longer to lay and naked flames on site need extra fire precautions.

Before you book in Netherton
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.
Which postcodes in Netherton do you work in?
We cover DY2 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Netherton, neighbouring Cradley Heath and Brierley Hill are covered too.
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.
Does Dudley Council need to approve my flat roof?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Netherton is provided by Dudley Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
