Garage, extension and dormer roofs in EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or felt, laid with proper falls so water leaves instead of ponding. A short run east along the A454.
Flat Roofing for Homes in Willenhall
Willenhall’s flat roofing is a proper mix: back additions and outrigger roofs behind the WV13 terraces, garages beside every mid-century semi, and the porches, bays and link roofs that the newer estates added by the hundred. The failures are standard, felt past its life, ponding where falls were never right, and leaks at the house-wall junction.
We cover Willenhall and the surrounding area: Short Heath, New Invention, Coppice Farm, Portobello, Lodge Farm and beyond (WV12, WV13).

What’s Included
We rebuild rather than patch over: decking made good, falls corrected, then EPDM for the open rectangles and GRP where the detail is fiddly. Garage and porch together in one visit is the economical Willenhall order, and we quote it that way when both need doing.
- 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 Willenhall, FAQs
Usually, yes, porch pods on the newer Willenhall estates are compact GRP or EPDM jobs, often done in a day. Left leaking they rot the porch timbers and stain the hall ceiling, so small and soon beats big and later.
Yes, old corrugated sheets, including cement-based ones, get replaced with modern box profile metal or a boarded EPDM finish depending on the garage. If old cement sheeting is involved we handle and dispose of it correctly, that is not a DIY material.
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.
