Choices to weigh up in Stourbridge

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.

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.

Your questions answered

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 Stourbridge?

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 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.

Will I need permission from the council in Stourbridge?

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