Flat Roofing for Homes in Codsall
Codsall’s flat roofs are the quiet additions of comfortable houses: garages single and double, sun room and extension tops, porches, and the link roofs between house and garage that this era of building loved. Most were felted when fitted and have been resurfaced once or twice since, and the link roofs especially tend to pond where their falls were always marginal.
We cover Codsall and the surrounding area: Bilbrook, Codsall Wood, Oaken, Birches Bridge, Husphins Lane end and beyond (WV8).

What’s Included
We rebuild falls properly with firrings or tapered insulation, then finish in EPDM for the plain spans and GRP where edges and junctions need crisp detail. A garage and link done together turns the whole run watertight in one go, which is usually the sensible Codsall order.
- EPDM rubber, one-piece membrane with no seams
- GRP fibreglass with a hard-wearing gel top coat
- High performance felt where it suits the job
- Falls corrected so water drains instead of ponding
- Rotten decking cut out and replaced
- Proper edge trims, outlets and upstands
How It Works
Flat Roofing in Codsall, FAQs
Yes, ponding on those link roofs is a falls problem, not a fate. When the roof is recovered we rebuild the falls with tapered supports so water runs to the outlet, and the puddle era ends.
EPDM for simple spans, GRP where you want a neat visible edge, and either can take a warm-roof insulation build-up that makes the room usable year-round. We quote the options with honest differences rather than pushing one.
Both are excellent when fitted right, so it comes down to the roof. EPDM suits larger, simpler roofs because it goes down in one continuous sheet and copes with a bit of movement. GRP gives a hard, walkable finish and crisp edges, which suits smaller roofs, balconies and roofs with lots of detail. We quote whichever suits yours, or both so you can compare.
Old style felt was ten to fifteen years if you were lucky. A properly fitted EPDM or GRP roof is a different class: the materials themselves are rated for decades. The weak point is always the workmanship at edges and outlets, which is exactly where we take the most care.
Standing water, called ponding, ages any flat roof faster: it strains the membrane, freezes in winter and finds any weak seam. Sometimes the fix is as simple as correcting the falls with firring or a tapered board when the roof is recovered. If your roof ponds, it is worth a look before it starts leaking.
