Flat Roofing for Homes in Wombourne
Flat roofing in Wombourne mostly serves the good life: extension tops over kitchens and garden rooms, double garage roofs, porches, and the flat crowns of the village’s many dormer bungalows. Those dormer tops are the ones to watch, small areas that fail quietly and drip into bedrooms below.
We cover Wombourne and the surrounding area: The Village core, Ounsdale, Blakeley, Giggetty, Bratch and beyond (WV5).

What’s Included
We recover dormer tops and porches in GRP for its crisp edges, and the bigger garage and extension spans in EPDM, with falls corrected and decking renewed as needed. On the larger plots we sequence the work around gardens people have spent years on, boards down, plants protected, mess removed.
- 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 Wombourne, FAQs
GRP fibreglass suits dormer tops well, it forms neat edges on small awkward shapes and takes the foot traffic of future maintenance. Done with proper upstands into the surrounding tiles it turns the dormer’s weakest point into its strongest.
Yes, garden buildings get the same materials as the house, EPDM or GRP over sound decking, and if it was built with a thin felt lid we can upgrade it to something that matches the money spent on the inside.
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.
