What flat roof work do we do in Redditch?

Commercial flat roofing

Safety planning matters on commercial sites in Redditch. Every job is planned under CDM, with a method statement, edge protection and covers over rooflights and fragile areas. If asbestos is found, a licensed specialist surveys and removes it before our work starts, so nobody is put at risk.

Flat roof repairs

Small businesses in Redditch 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.

Balconies and roof terraces

A roof terrace in Redditch may be re-waterproofed when the owners want to change the finish, swapping old tiles for decking or porcelain on pedestals. Lifting the surface exposes the membrane, and replacing it then avoids having to lift the new finish again later.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Redditch?

In a large town like Redditch flat roofs are mostly on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced 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 Redditch Borough Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
