What flat roof work do we do in Tamworth?

Garage roofs

If your garage in Tamworth 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.

Green and sedum roofs

Small commercial buildings and blocks in Tamworth with a flat roof sometimes add an extensive green roof as part of a refurbishment. The structural check and safe access for maintenance matter even more on these larger roofs, which may need edge protection or fall-arrest points for each visit.

Flat roof replacement

A flat roof in Tamworth is often worth replacing because it is the weak point of the building: heat escapes through an uninsulated deck, rooms below are cold in winter and hot in summer, and condensation marks the ceiling. A warm-roof replacement deals with comfort as well as leaks, so it is worth considering before the roof fails outright.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Tamworth?

In a large town like Tamworth flat roofs are mostly on 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches and bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers. 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 Tamworth?

Where approval is needed it goes to Tamworth Borough 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.
