Flat roofing in Stone

Working in Stone

Stone is a canal town on the Trent & Mersey, with Victorian terraces and older brick buildings around the High Street and newer estates on the edges of town. The A34, A51 and junction 15 of the M6 are all close by.

In Stone we see flat roofs on everything from shops and offices in the centre to modern dormers on new estates. Stone's older High Street buildings and canal-side cottages often have clay tiles and slate with lead valleys, while estate houses mostly need verge, ridge and roofline work.

For Stone (ST15), 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 up the A51 past Great Haywood, roughly fifteen miles from our base.

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.
