Working in Stafford
Stafford is the county town, with a historic core around the Ancient High House and Greengate Street, streets of Victorian terraces off the Lichfield and Newport Roads, and larger estates and new developments at Wildwood, Baswich and Burleyfields.
In Stafford we see flat roofs on everything from shops and offices in the centre to modern dormers on new estates. Stafford's Victorian terraces off the Lichfield and Newport Roads often have slate roofs and brick chimneys in need of lead and pointing, while Wildwood and Baswich homes mostly have concrete tiles.
For Stafford (ST16, ST17 and ST18), planning applications are handled by Stafford 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 ten miles from Rugeley along the A513 and A51.
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.
