Flat roofing in Sutton Coldfield

Working in Sutton Coldfield

Sutton Coldfield, the Royal Town, is known for Sutton Park and for its larger 1930s and post-war detached and semi-detached homes in areas such as Four Oaks, Walmley and Boldmere, plus newer developments to the east of the town.

In Sutton Coldfield, larger homes often have flat-roofed extensions with roof lanterns, where GRP or EPDM gives a clean, modern finish. Sutton Coldfield's 1930s and post-war homes often have hipped clay or concrete tile roofs, bay window roofs and big chimney stacks that reward detailed work.

In Sutton Coldfield (B72 to B76), Birmingham City Council handles both planning applications and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is around eighteen miles down the A38.

How we 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.

We check the deck and joists before quoting. If the boards are soft or the falls are wrong, we include new decking or firrings in the price rather than surprising you halfway through the job.
