What flat roof work do we do in Rugby?
Garage roofs
If your garage in Rugby 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.
Dormer roofs
A dormer roof that has been patched several times in Rugby often has layers of old repairs that hide the real fault. Stripping back to the deck shows what has been going on, and lets the team rebuild the back-edge abutment properly rather than sealing over it again.

Leaseholders in Rugby want to see where their money goes. Our itemised quotes show each element of the job separately, including scaffold, insulation and provisional sums for hidden defects, which makes them easier to share and compare when the freeholder or agent is consulting on the work.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Rugby?
In a large town like Rugby flat roofs are mostly on lock-up garage blocks on estates 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 Rugby?
Where approval is needed it goes to Rugby 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.
