- Because a warm-roof build-up raises the roof level, door thresholds and upstands need checking.
- GRP needs dry conditions to cure, so start dates can move with the forecast.
- Getting the fall right stops water pooling, which shortens the life of any membrane.

Which options suit homes in Nuneaton?
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.
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.

Before you book in Nuneaton
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.
