What flat roof work do we do in Shrewsbury?
Commercial flat roofing
Businesses in Shrewsbury need a roofing contractor who arrives with a plan, not just a price. We put the system, build-up, phasing, access and payment terms in a fixed written quote, and keep each section of the roof watertight before the team leaves site, so trading is not put at risk.
Liquid-applied roofing
For businesses and landlords in Shrewsbury, a cold-applied liquid roof means no flame on site and, with some systems, a short cure time. That can make it easier to work around occupied buildings, tenants and opening hours than a system that needs hot works or a long strip-out.
Garage roofs
Garage roofs in Shrewsbury are often replaced when the deck gives way. Chipboard decks swell and soften once they get wet, and you may see sagging between joists or feel the roof flex underfoot. Replacing the deck and covering together is usually more economical than repeated repairs.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Shrewsbury?
In a large town like Shrewsbury flat roofs are mostly on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. Local weather shapes the specification. England averages roughly 870 mm of rain a year and the West Midlands sits close to that, so falls and outlets are the difference between a roof that drains and one that ponds. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
Who approves flat roof work in Shrewsbury?
Where approval is needed it goes to Shropshire Council building control, or a registered building control approver. Replacing more than half of a roof over a heated room usually counts as renovating a thermal element, so it is insulated to current standards and notified to building control. How the rules work.
