Which flat roofs are common in Staffordshire?
Flat roofs in Staffordshire sit on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers, newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced and lock-up garage blocks on estates. 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.
Building regulations in England
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. Renovated roofs over heated rooms are insulated to around 0.16 W/m²K where that's feasible, and new extension roofs are built to 0.15 W/m²K. In Staffordshire the application goes to Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, East Staffordshire Borough Council and 6 other councils. More on the rules.
How long does a garage roof replacement take?
A single garage roof is typically finished in one or two days, and a double garage in two or three, weather permitting. Deck repairs and new fascias add time.
Disruption is light. You will need to empty or cover anything stored in the garage, because dust and debris can fall through gaps in an old deck during the strip. The garage door may be out of use for part of the job, and the car is best parked elsewhere so a skip can sit on the drive. We keep the roof weathertight at the end of each day.
Which roofing system is best for a garage?
For most single garages, EPDM rubber is a strong choice, because a simple rectangle can usually be covered in one sheet with no joins in the field of the roof. It is light, flexible and quick to lay.
GRP fibreglass suits garages with integral box gutters, several corners or a roof that is walked on to reach windows or clean gutters. Torch-on felt remains a cost-effective, durable option, particularly on larger lock-up runs where budget matters. Where a garage adjoins timber or other combustible material, we also consider whether a torch-free system is the safer method, such as EPDM, GRP or a liquid-applied coating.
If you plan to convert the garage later, say so at survey. A roof built as a warm roof now saves stripping it again when the room is heated.

Can you replace a shared garage roof in a block?
Yes. We can quote for one garage in a row or the whole block, and we take care with the joins between bays so neighbouring roofs stay watertight.
Can a garage roof be replaced in one day?
A small single garage with a sound deck can often be stripped and re-covered in a day. Deck repairs, a double garage or poor weather can stretch it to two or three.
Can you put a new roof on a garage with a cement sheet roof?
Yes, once any suspected asbestos has been tested and removed by a licensed specialist. The garage then usually needs new timbers and a deck before the new membrane goes on.
