Options to consider in Polesworth
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 Polesworth?
For a home in Polesworth, our guide range is £1,300–£7,500 depending on size and specification. Strip and replace a 20 m² rear extension roof in EPDM, with new deck and warm-roof insulation: usually £3,200–£4,600.

How do I book a survey in Polesworth?
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.
Does North Warwickshire Borough Council need to approve my flat roof?
You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Polesworth is provided by North Warwickshire Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
