Flat Roofing Services in Colliers Wood
Colliers Wood is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with newer flats near the station and along the River Wandle. Ageing slate and tile roofs, blocked gutters and flat-roofed back additions are the issues homeowners here most often call us about.
Flat roofs are a cost-effective choice, and every part of the roof surface can be used. A well-built flat roof can carry extras such as a roof terrace or solar panels.
Like any roof, a flat roof lasts longest when it is installed and maintained properly, so it is worth checking flashings and drainage, particularly after bad weather. Outlets and drains need to be kept clear, as blockages are one of the main causes of leaks.
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 Colliers Wood, call 07467 757 367.

Flat Roofing in Colliers Wood: What We See Locally
The flat-roofed back additions behind so many Colliers Wood terraces are some of the hardest-working roofs in the area. They sit below the main roof and gutters, so they take extra water, and when the outlets block or the flashings fail, leaks soon follow.
We install GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt systems and EPDM, and we can add insulation to make the room below more comfortable. On heritage buildings, traditional solutions may be more suitable. Keeping drains and outlets clear is one of the simplest ways to extend the life of any flat roof, and flashings deserve regular checks because they are a common failure point. If you are planning a roof terrace or solar panels, a flat roof can often take them with the right build-up. We provide flat roofing in Balham and Norbury as well.
Colliers Wood is roughly 14 miles from our head office in Staines, well within the area our roofers cover every week. 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 the London Borough of Merton before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Flat Roofing FAQs for Colliers Wood
What flat roof system do you recommend in Colliers Wood?
The right choice varies from roof to roof. GRP fibreglass suits small back additions and dormers, mineral felt is a reliable traditional option, and EPDM is ideal for larger areas. We assess the size, drainage and flashings before recommending a system and can add insulation at the same time.
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.
Can a flat roof take a terrace or solar panels?
A properly built flat roof can support extras such as a roof terrace or solar panels. We will check the structure and advise what is possible.
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 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.
