Flat roofing in Burton upon Trent

Working in Burton upon Trent

Burton upon Trent grew around brewing, so it has long streets of Victorian terraces, larger villas in areas such as Stapenhill, and expanding modern estates around Branston and Stretton, as well as a lot of industrial and commercial property.

Many Burton upon Trent terraces have flat-roofed back additions and dormers that are hard to reach, so we plan access and material deliveries carefully. Burton's Victorian terraces have slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and rear outriggers with small flat or lean-to roofs that are frequent sources of leaks.

For Burton upon Trent (DE13, DE14 and DE15), planning applications are handled by East Staffordshire 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 around sixteen miles east of Rugeley via the A513 and 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.
