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.

Flat roofing in Stratford-upon-Avon: common questions

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 Stratford-upon-Avon do you work in?

We cover CV37 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Stratford-upon-Avon, neighbouring Alcester and Warwick are covered too.

Which lasts longer, EPDM or GRP?

Both last far longer than old felt when properly laid, and the quality of the installation matters more than the material. EPDM is flexible and handles movement well, while GRP gives a hard, walkable, joint-free finish that suits complex shapes. Manufacturers' expected lifespans vary by product, and the guarantee terms for your roof are set out in your quote.

Does Stratford-on-Avon District Council need to approve my flat roof?

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