What do block and HMO roofs in Stratford-upon-Avon need?
Leaseholders in Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
In a town like Stratford-upon-Avon, flat roofs are commonly found on newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced or 1930s semis with flat-roofed garages and kitchen extensions. 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.
How much does a block or HMO roof cost in Stratford-upon-Avon?
For Stratford-upon-Avon we use West Midlands rates: £15,550–£27,200 is the guide for a 150 m² block-of-flats roof in felt with insulation and scaffold, VAT included. The fixed price comes after a free survey for new and replacement roofs.
| Job | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Block of flats (150 m²), felt + insulation + scaffold | £15,550–£27,200 |
| Commercial roof (100 m²), single-ply + insulation | £13,250–£21,800 |
How do you manage access and residents during the work?
We agree an access and communication plan with the agent or freeholder before the scaffold goes up, so residents know what is happening and when.
That usually covers notices in the common parts and letters to each flat, scaffold and skip positions, keeping entrances, escape routes and bin stores clear, working hours, securing the scaffold out of hours, and a named contact for questions. If we need to look at a ceiling inside a top-floor flat, we arrange access through the agent or landlord.
Occupied blocks are re-roofed in phases, with each section watertight before the team leaves site, which also lets a larger roof be spread over more than one service charge year. Hot works near windows, vents and escape routes are tightly controlled, or avoided altogether with cold-applied systems.
What's included?
- Resident notices, access planning and phased work
- Quotes laid out to support leaseholder consultation
- Building control and insulation upgrades handled where needed
- Written workmanship guarantee, with manufacturer guarantees registered where the system allows
Building regulations in England
Replacing more than half of a flat roof over a heated room usually counts as renovating a thermal element, so the roof is insulated to around 0.16 W/m²K where that's technically and economically feasible, and the work is notified to building control: the council or a registered building control approver, unless a registered competent person self-certifies it. A roof on a new extension is built to 0.15 W/m²K. Patch repairs, and most unheated detached garages, don't trigger the upgrade. Structural changes, or a new covering that adds 15% or more to the roof's weight, also need approval. More on the rules.
