What flat roof work do we do in Bartley Green?

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Landlords and managing agents in Bartley Green often need a written record of a roof's condition, for budgeting, for leaseholders, or to show a problem has been looked at properly. A survey report gives them a clear basis for deciding when to repair and when to replace.

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

Service charge budgets for blocks in Bartley Green do not always stretch to a whole roof at once. We can phase a re-roof over more than one budget year, pricing each phase separately in writing and keeping every section watertight in between, so the building stays protected while the cost is spread.

GRP fibreglass roofing

For a garage or extension in Bartley Green that doubles as a step-out space for window cleaning, GRP gives a firmer footing than a rubber membrane. With an anti-slip topcoat it handles light, occasional use, though a full terrace needs its own specification and, in many cases, planning permission.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Bartley Green?

In a town like Bartley Green 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. 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.

Where approval is needed it goes to Birmingham 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.
