Lichfield is a cathedral city with a large conservation area of Georgian and older brick buildings around the Close, Bore Street and Dam Street. Around that core are 20th-century estates such as Boley Park, Leomansley and Curborough, and big new developments at Streethay and on the southern edge of the city.
In and around Lichfield we often find flat roofs on rear additions to older houses, where a neat, low-profile finish matters because it can be seen from upstairs windows or neighbouring gardens. Around the cathedral and the older city streets, clay plain tiles, lead details and lime mortar are common, and like-for-like materials matter for the look of the conservation area.
For Lichfield (WS13 and WS14), planning applications are handled by Lichfield District Council, and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs by Staffordshire County Council. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is about nine miles down the A51 from our Rugeley yard.
Details make or break a flat roof: drip trims, upstands, abutments, lead or GRP flashings and outlets. We spend time on each, then leave the roof clean and photographed so you have a record of the finished work.
Most failed flat roofs we see were laid straight over old decking with no insulation and poor falls. Where it makes sense we convert them to a warm roof, with insulation above the deck and a new waterproof layer on top, which improves comfort and helps with Building Regulations when a roof is replaced.

📍 Rob, Lichfield
We turned Rob's garden in Lichfield into a complete outdoor living space, with sandstone paving, decorative gravel on a stabilisation grid, raised sleeper beds and a new 8x4 shed on a concrete base. The centrepiece is a semi-sunken block-and-brick firepit area under a hardwood pergola. We also fitted a new 7.3m canopy, a hardwood gate and new fencing, and kept the Red Robin and roses Rob wanted to save.
📍 Becky, Lichfield
We restored Becky's paving in Lichfield. We cleaned and re-grouted around 60m² of patio, plus the pathway, the steps and the coping tiles, so the whole garden looks fresh again.
Around the cathedral and the older city streets, clay plain tiles, lead details and lime mortar are common, and like-for-like materials matter for the look of the conservation area.
EPDM rubber is quick to lay and very durable with few joints; GRP fibreglass suits roofs with lots of detail or foot traffic; torch-on felt is a proven, economical option. We explain the pros and cons for your roof before you decide.
A typical garage roof takes one to two days; a larger extension roof can take a few days, depending on weather and whether the deck needs replacing.
Sometimes, but usually we strip it so we can check the deck and fix any rot. Overlaying a failed roof often traps moisture and shortens the life of the new covering.
Yes. We regularly work in Whittington, Shenstone, Fradley, Alrewas and Streethay, and across Staffordshire and the West Midlands.
