What flat roof work do we do in Aldridge?
Single-ply membrane roofing
On exposed sites in Aldridge and elsewhere, mechanically fixed single-ply is specified with a fixing pattern based on wind uplift, with extra fasteners at corners and edges. That makes it a strong option for commercial roofs where wind loads are a concern.
Dormer roofs
High, exposed dormers in Aldridge 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.
Extension and kitchen roofs
Ponding against the house wall is a common reason for replacing an extension roof in Aldridge. When the deck dips near the wall or the fall runs the wrong way, water sits against the abutment and eventually gets in. A new roof with corrected falls moves the water to the gutter.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Aldridge?
In a town like Aldridge flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and 1960s and 1970s link-detached houses with flat-roofed garages and porches. 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.
Who approves flat roof work in Aldridge?
Where approval is needed it goes to Walsall 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.
