What should you know before starting in Warwickshire?
This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Warwickshire, building control is provided by the district or borough council for your town or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).
- Rotten decking is only found once the old roof is stripped, and any repair is agreed in writing first.
- Most flat roof leaks start at edges, joints, outlets or wall abutments.
- The target U-value for a renovated roof is 0.16 W/m²K, where that's practical.

Options to consider in Warwickshire
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.
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.
Flat roofing prices in Warwickshire
Prices in Warwickshire match the rest of our area: £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.
| Option | Guide price | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Single garage roof | £1,300 – £2,600 | About 15–18 m², strip and re-cover |
| Rear extension roof | £2,400 – £5,200 | About 20–30 m², usually with insulation |
| Dormer or larger roof | £3,800 – £7,500 | Upper-floor access, scaffold and detailing |
Guide ranges include VAT where it applies. Access, parking and the state of what's there now can move the price — the survey settles it.
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.

How much does a new flat roof cost?
In the West Midlands, re-covering a single garage roof usually costs around £1,300–£2,600, and a 20–30 m² extension roof around £2,400–£5,200, depending on the membrane, deck repairs and insulation. Dormer roofs cost more because of access. Your quote names the membrane and lists deck work and insulation separately.
