What flat roof work do we do in Wednesbury?

EPDM rubber roofing

Choose EPDM in Wednesbury if you want a long service life without paying for a hard, walkable finish you do not need. With good detailing it typically lasts 25 years or more, and manufacturer material guarantees are available on many EPDM systems, registered for you where the system allows.

Flat roof repairs

Small businesses in Wednesbury with a flat-roofed shop, office or unit can't leave a leak running over stock or equipment. A repair stops the water at its entry point, and our inspection tells you whether the rest of the roof needs attention soon or can safely be left for now.

Warm roof insulation upgrades

Kitchen extensions in Wednesbury, as elsewhere, produce a lot of moisture from cooking. Under a cold flat roof, that moisture can condense on the deck. A warm roof keeps the deck warm and puts a vapour control layer in the way, which lowers the risk considerably.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Wednesbury?

In a town like Wednesbury flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. 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.

Where approval is needed it goes to Sandwell Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
