Flat Roofing in Wolverhampton
Garage, extension and dormer roofs in EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or felt, laid with proper falls so water leaves instead of ponding. Our home base.
Flat Roofing for Homes in Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton has thousands of flat roofs nobody thinks about until they fail: the garages beside every interwar semi in Bushbury and Ashmore Park, the kitchen and bathroom back additions on the city’s terraces, and the porch and dormer tops through Penn and Compton. Most were felted decades ago and have been patched ever since.
We cover Wolverhampton and the surrounding area: Bushbury, Fordhouses, Low Hill, Fallings Park, Heath Town and beyond (WV1, WV2, WV3, WV4, WV6, WV10, WV11).

What’s Included
We recover them properly in EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass, with the decking made good and the falls corrected so rain actually leaves the roof. A typical Wolverhampton garage goes from tired felt to a one-piece rubber roof in a day or two, and a back-addition roof done right stops the damp patch that has been creeping across the kitchen ceiling for years.
- 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 Wolverhampton, FAQs
It depends on size and how much decking needs replacing once the old felt is off, which is why we look first and quote in writing. A standard single garage in EPDM is one of the smaller jobs we price, and you get the exact figure before anything is booked.
That junction between the flat roof and the house wall is the classic failure point on Wolverhampton’s terrace additions, the old felt upstand cracks or the flashing above it lets go. It needs the upstand and flashing rebuilt as one detail, which is exactly the sort of fiddly work we take the time over.
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.
