What flat roof work do we do in Burntwood?
Extension and kitchen roofs
Extension roofs in Burntwood are often replaced because the original was built cheaply: thin chipboard decks, little or no insulation and felt turned up the wall without a proper flashing. Twenty or thirty years on, those weaknesses show up as leaks at the back wall and a cold, damp ceiling.
Single-ply membrane roofing
Single-ply is a common choice for medium and large flat roofs in Burntwood because it covers big areas quickly, is light on the structure and has a long typical life. Wide rolls mean fewer seams, and those seams are welded and probed rather than glued.
Commercial flat roofing
When a roof over heated space in Burntwood is replaced, insulation rules usually apply. We design the warm-roof build-up towards the required standard where that is feasible and handle building control where it is needed, so the work is signed off properly and the building is better insulated afterwards.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Burntwood?
In a town like Burntwood flat roofs are mostly on shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats and 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. The climate is part of the brief. 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 Burntwood?
Where approval is needed it goes to Lichfield District 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.
