Flat Roofing for Homes in Tettenhall
Tettenhall’s flat roofs hide behind the period frontages: bay tops, porch canopies, dormer flats on converted lofts, and the garden rooms and garages that have accumulated on these generous plots. Many bay and porch tops here are still original lead or long-failed felt over decorated timber, and they deserve better than a black patch.
We cover Tettenhall and the surrounding area: Tettenhall Wood, Upper Green, The Rock, Wergs, Newbridge and beyond (WV6).

- 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 Tettenhall, FAQs
Yes. Bay tops on Tettenhall’s Victorian houses can be recovered in materials that look right from the street, and the timber cornice under them made good at the same time. It is small, detailed work, which is exactly why it is often done badly and why we like doing it well.
EPDM rubber for plain roofs and GRP where you want crisp edges or a walkable finish. Both are quiet, long-lived and maintenance-free, which suits a building you want to enjoy rather than look after.
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.
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.
If the covering is basically sound and the problem is local, yes, a patch or a new outlet detail can buy years. If the felt is blistered and cracked across the whole roof, patching is money down the drain and we will say so. You get the honest option, priced.
