Flat Roofing Services in Ashford
Ashford is a few minutes from our Staines office, with interwar semis, bungalows and post-war estates making up most of the town. Concrete tile roofs, flat-roofed extensions, fascias and guttering are the jobs we carry out most often here.
Flat roofing is popular because it is cost-effective and the whole surface of the roof can be put to use. Built properly, a flat roof can also support a terrace or solar panels.
Like any roof, a flat roof lasts longest when it is installed and maintained properly, with checks after severe weather, especially around flashings and drainage. Blocked outlets and drains are one of the most common reasons flat roofs leak.
We install fibreglass GRP, three-layer mineral felt systems, EPDM rubber and a range of insulation products, and on heritage buildings we use traditional solutions where they suit the property better. For a free flat roofing quote in Ashford, call 07467 757 367.

Flat Roofing for Homes and Businesses in Ashford
Ashford has a large number of flat roofs on single-storey extensions, garages and porches, many added to interwar and post-war homes over the decades. Their age varies widely, and so does the quality of what was laid. Ponding water, cracked felt and lifted flashings at the house wall are the issues we see most.
We work with GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt systems and EPDM, and can include insulation when replacing a roof, which can help keep an extension warmer. Simple maintenance goes a long way, so keeping drains and outlets clear of leaves and debris is worth doing. Flashings are a common failure point, and we inspect them closely during any visit. Some flat roofs can take solar panels or even a terrace if the structure suits. We carry out flat roofing in Hanworth and East Bedfont as well.
Ashford is only around 2 miles from our head office at Waterman’s Business Park in Staines, so it is right on our doorstep. Like-for-like roof work does not usually need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with Spelthorne Borough Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Common Questions About Flat Roofing in Ashford
Should I insulate my Ashford extension's flat roof when replacing it?
It is usually worth considering, as replacement is the easiest time to add insulation. Many Ashford extensions were built with little or none, so rooms below can feel cold. We will explain suitable options and whether insulation affects the roof height or edges.
Can you add insulation to a flat roof?
Yes. When a flat roof is replaced we can install insulation as part of the new roof build-up.
Why is my flat roof leaking?
The most common causes are failed flashings where the roof meets a wall, blocked outlets or drains, and coverings that have cracked or blistered with age.
Which flat roofing system is best?
It depends on the roof. GRP fibreglass suits most domestic extensions and dormers, three-layer mineral felt is a reliable traditional option, and EPDM is ideal for larger commercial roofs. We will recommend the right one for your building.
How do I look after a flat roof?
Keep outlets and drains clear of leaves and debris, and have the roof checked after severe weather, especially around flashings.
How much does a new flat roof cost?
It depends on the size of the roof, the system you choose and the condition of the deck. We will give you a free, no-obligation quote.
