Flat Roofing for Homes in Wednesfield
Wednesfield’s flat roofs are mostly garages and porches on the estate houses, plus kitchen extensions on the older terraces near the village. The garage rows and side garages around Ashmore Park and Wood End were felted decades ago, and most have been patched more than once since.
We cover Wednesfield and the surrounding area: Ashmore Park, Wood End, Perry Hall, Fallings Heath, March End and beyond (WV11).

What’s Included
We strip them back, replace any soft decking and refit in EPDM rubber for the plain rectangles or GRP where there are upstands and detail. A garage this side of the city is usually a one to two day job, and being local we can fit the smaller porch and bay tops in around bigger work rather than making you wait.
- 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 Wednesfield, FAQs
If the walls and door are worth keeping, yes, an EPDM roof outlasts felt several times over and takes the garage off your worry list. If the decking has gone spongy we replace it as part of the job rather than trapping the rot.
Yes, and it is the cheap way to do it, one visit, one lot of materials. Porch and canopy tops around Wednesfield are usually small enough to be added to a garage job for much less than they would cost alone.
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.
