Flat roofing in Burntwood

Working in Burntwood

Burntwood grew quickly from the 1960s onward, so most homes are post-war and modern semis and detached houses around Chase Terrace, Chasetown and Boney Hay, with Chasewater Country Park on the western edge of town.

Post-war estates in Burntwood are full of flat-roofed garages, porches and single-storey extensions, many still on their first or second felt covering. Most Burntwood homes date from the 1960s onwards, so the usual roofing needs are concrete tile re-roofs, dry verge upgrades and replacement flat roofs on garages and extensions.

For Burntwood (WS7), 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 around nine miles from our yard.

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.
