Why choose a liquid-applied roof in Bedworth?
For businesses and landlords in Bedworth, a cold-applied liquid roof means no flame on site and, with some systems, a short cure time. That can make it easier to work around occupied buildings, tenants and opening hours than a system that needs hot works or a long strip-out.
In a town like Bedworth, flat roofs are commonly found on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms or low-rise post-war blocks of flats. 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 liquid-applied roof cost in Bedworth?
Guide price in Bedworth: £2,050–£3,250 for a typical 18 m² garage roof in a liquid-applied system, including VAT at West Midlands rates. The fixed price comes after a free survey for new and replacement roofs.
| Job | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Single garage (18 m²), liquid-applied | £2,050–£3,250 |

| Single garage (18 m²), EPDM rubber | £1,600–£2,800 |
| Extension (20 m²), EPDM, new deck + insulation | £2,800–£4,900 |
How long does a liquid-applied roof last, and how is it guaranteed?
Cold liquid-applied roofs typically last 10 to 25 years or more, depending on the product and the thickness applied. One reinforced system has a BBA assessment of over 25 years, while lighter coatings designed to extend an existing roof sit at the lower end of the range.
Because life varies so much by product, it pays to know exactly what is being applied. Your quote should name the system, the reinforcement and the build-up.
Manufacturer guarantees are often tied to a named system, with lengths such as 10, 15 or 20 years depending on the specification, and some require registration or an approved applicator. We handle that registration where the system permits it. Every re-roof also carries our written workmanship guarantee, with the length set out in the quote, and you can ask about insurance-backed options. A BBA certificate is a product assessment, not a guarantee; our guarantees guide explains the difference.

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.

Is liquid roofing the same as a roof paint?
No. A proper liquid-applied membrane is built to a specified thickness and usually reinforced with fleece, while roof paints and simple coatings are much thinner and mainly used to extend the life of an existing covering.
What is a fleece-reinforced liquid roof?
It is a liquid membrane with a polyester fleece embedded between coats. The fleece adds strength, helps control thickness and resists cracking where the surface moves slightly.
