What flat roof work do we do in Lichfield?
Flat roof surveys and leak tracing
In Lichfield, as elsewhere, people often book a survey after a repair that didn't hold. When a leak returns, it usually means the first fix treated the symptom rather than the cause. Tracing the actual entry point saves paying for the same repair twice.
GRP fibreglass roofing
GRP is a good fit in Lichfield for roofs with awkward shapes, short runs of upstand and lots of corners, because every detail is laminated in place rather than cut and glued. Where a sheet membrane would need many joins, fibreglass forms one continuous skin across the whole roof.
Liquid-applied roofing
If a flat roof in Lichfield is ageing but still dry, firmly bonded and on a sound deck, a reinforced liquid system can be applied over it. That avoids the cost and mess of a full strip-out, provided the moisture and adhesion checks at survey show the existing roof is fit to build on.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Lichfield?
In a town like Lichfield flat roofs are mostly on low-rise post-war blocks of flats and lock-up garage blocks on estates. Rain and wind decide how a flat roof is detailed. 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 Lichfield?
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.
