Flat Roof Drainage in Solihull — Getting It Right
Solihull’s slightly elevated west Midlands position with moderate rainfall means correct drainage specification is critical on flat roofs. Standing water is the primary cause of premature membrane failure across B91. Every flat roof we install includes a drainage assessment and correctly specified falls — minimum 1:80 for GRP, 1:60 for EPDM.
Deck Inspection — What We Find Under Solihull Flat Roofs
When we strip an old flat roof on a Solihull property, the most common findings are: wet or delaminated plywood deck, inadequate insulation, and failed upstand detailing at abutments. We inspect and quote for deck repairs before proceeding — a new membrane over a failed deck is money wasted.
Maintenance for Solihull Flat Roofs
A GRP flat roof in Solihull needs minimal maintenance — an annual check of upstands and outlets, and a clean of any debris that could block drainage. We recommend a check every autumn before the slightly elevated west Midlands position with moderate rainfall. EPDM requires similar attention. We offer maintenance visits across B91 for properties we’ve installed on.
Typical Pricing
Small flat roofs from £800. Most jobs £800–£6,000 GRP installed.
