Surbiton and the surrounding area

Flat Roofs across Surbiton and London SW

A flat roof is not actually flat. It needs a fall of around 1 in 80 so rainwater runs to the outlet instead of sitting in a pool. We strip the failed covering, check and replace any soft decking, correct the fall with new firrings, and re-cover in GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber or torch-on felt to suit the roof. Extensions, garages, dormers and porches are the usual jobs.

Getting the fall and the detailing right means the roof drains properly and stays watertight for the long term, not just until the next heavy downpour. A warm-roof build-up with upgraded insulation also makes the room underneath warmer and cheaper to heat.

Where an old roof has ponded we correct the firrings underneath rather than covering the problem over, and we talk you through which covering makes sense for your roof and your budget. The price is itemised and the site is left clean.

We work across Surbiton and the KT6 postcodes in London SW, including Mitcham, Wallington, Oval, Anerley and Lower Sydenham. Ring 0208 528 3016 and you will get someone who knows the area.

FAQs

Flat Roofs in Surbiton: what people ask

Do you cover Surbiton?

Yes. Flat Roofs across Surbiton and the surrounding KT6 area, including Mitcham, Wallington, Oval, Anerley and Lower Sydenham. The local number is 0208 528 3016, answered 7am to 7pm, seven days a week.

How long does a flat roof last?

It depends on the covering and how well the roof drains. A well laid GRP or EPDM roof on a correct fall lasts considerably longer than felt, and a roof that ponds will fail early whatever is on it.

Can you go over the top of the old covering?

We would not recommend it. Overlaying hides a wet or soft deck and keeps whatever fall problem caused the failure, so the new covering tends to go the same way.

Which is better, GRP or EPDM?

GRP gives a hard, seamless finish and suits roofs with a lot of detail and trim. EPDM is a single rubber sheet with very few joins and handles movement well on larger, simpler roofs. The survey decides which fits your roof.
