What flat roof work do we do in Bedworth?

Flat roof repairs

Flat roofs in Bedworth face the same enemies as anywhere else: rain driven against walls, leaves blocking outlets, sun drying out older felt and frost opening small cracks. People tend to notice when a stain appears on a ceiling after a storm, or when water is still sitting on the roof days after rain.

Green and sedum roofs

In a place like Bedworth, many people look out over a flat extension or garage roof from upstairs. Grey felt or rubber isn't much of a view, and a sedum roof turns it into something green that changes colour through the seasons and flowers in summer.

Dormer roofs

High, exposed dormers in Bedworth take the full force of the wind and rain. Edge trims loosen, flashings lift and the felt at the drip edge cracks. Once the faults spread around the perimeter, a new roof with fresh trims usually lasts far longer than another round of repairs.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Bedworth?

In a town like Bedworth flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. 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.
