Options to consider in Stourport-on-Severn

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.

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.

Questions about flat roofing in Stourport-on-Severn

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 Stourport-on-Severn do you work in?

We cover DY13 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Stourport-on-Severn, neighbouring Kidderminster and Bewdley 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.

Will I need permission from the council in Stourport-on-Severn?

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