What flat roof work do we do in Stoke-on-Trent?
Flat roof surveys and leak tracing
Businesses in Stoke-on-Trent with a flat-roofed building can't plan maintenance around guesswork. A survey sets out what needs doing now, what can wait and roughly what each item will cost, so the work can be scheduled with as little disruption as possible.
Garage roofs
If your garage in Stoke-on-Trent has an old cement sheet roof, it will eventually crack and let in water. Any suspected asbestos is tested and removed by a licensed specialist first, then the garage can be given new timbers, a deck and a modern membrane that should last for decades with sensible maintenance.
Flats, HMOs and block roofs
When a roof over heated flats in Stoke-on-Trent 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 top-floor flats are better insulated.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Stoke-on-Trent?
In a city like Stoke-on-Trent flat roofs are mostly on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. 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 Stoke-on-Trent?
Where approval is needed it goes to Stoke-on-Trent City 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.
