Which option fits your home?
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.
What does your flat roof cost in Walsall Wood?
Guide prices start at £1,300 and run to £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: around £3,200–£4,600.

Your questions answered
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.
