Flat roofing in Rugeley

Working in Rugeley

Rugeley sits in the Trent Valley on the edge of Cannock Chase, and it is home to our yard at Kimberley Business Park. The town mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the centre, inter-war and post-war semis around Etching Hill, Pear Tree and Brereton, and the large new neighbourhood rising on the former power station land.

Rugeley has a lot of 1960s and 1970s garages and rear extensions with original felt roofs that are now well past their best. On the older streets around Lichfield Street and Talbot Street we often find original slate roofs with tired lead and chimney stacks, while homes on the newer estates mostly need verge, ridge and gutter attention.

Rugeley (WS15) falls under Cannock Chase District Council for planning and Staffordshire County Council for highways matters such as scaffold licences and dropped kerbs. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is right here in town.

How we work

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.
