Working in Tamworth

Tamworth has its Norman castle and historic centre, but most homes date from the town's post-war expansion, with large estates at Glascote, Wilnecote, Amington and Belgrave, and newer development around the edges of town near the A5 and M42.

Post-war estates in Tamworth are full of flat-roofed garages, porches and single-storey extensions, many still on their first or second felt covering. Tamworth's post-war estates at Glascote, Wilnecote and Amington have many concrete tile roofs now on their original felt, plus flat-roofed garages and porches.

For Tamworth (B77, B78 and B79), planning applications are handled by Tamworth Borough 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 seventeen miles away through Lichfield.

How we work

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.

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.

Flat Roofing in Tamworth: common questions

What roofs do you see most in Tamworth?

Tamworth's post-war estates at Glascote, Wilnecote and Amington have many concrete tile roofs now on their original felt, plus flat-roofed garages and porches.

How long does a new flat roof take?

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.

Do I need Building Regulations approval for a flat roof replacement?

Replacing more than a set proportion of a roof covering can bring thermal requirements into play. We will tell you whether insulation upgrades apply, and the local authority, Tamworth Borough Council, can confirm the details.

Which is best for my roof in Tamworth: EPDM, GRP or felt?

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.

Do you cover flat roofs outside Tamworth?

Yes. We regularly work in Fazeley, Wilnecote, Amington, Hopwas and Kingsbury, and across Staffordshire and the West Midlands.
