Flat Roofing Services in Epsom
Epsom has Georgian buildings in the town centre, Victorian and Edwardian houses and interwar suburbs, with Epsom Downs racecourse to the south. Tile and slate roofs, chimney stacks and flat-roofed extensions are common jobs here.
Flat roofing is popular because it is cost-effective and the whole surface of the roof can be put to use. A well-built flat roof can carry extras such as a roof terrace or solar panels.
Good installation and regular maintenance are what make a flat roof last, 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 Epsom, call 07467 757 367.
Flat Roofing in Epsom: What We See Locally
Most flat roofs we see in Epsom sit over kitchen extensions, garages and dormers added to Victorian, Edwardian and interwar houses. Many were covered in felt decades ago, and the common faults are blocked outlets, ponding water and flashings that have pulled away from the wall.
Depending on the roof, we fit fibreglass (GRP), three-layer mineral felt or EPDM, and we can add insulation to make the room below warmer. On the town’s Georgian buildings, a traditional approach may be more appropriate. Keeping drains and outlets clear goes a long way to extending a flat roof’s life. If you are thinking of a roof terrace or solar panels, we can advise on whether the structure will take it. We carry out flat roofing in Worcester Park and Ashtead as well.
At around 12 miles from our Staines office, Epsom sits within our core area across Surrey and Middlesex. 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 Epsom and Ewell Borough Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Common Questions About Flat Roofing in Epsom
Why does my flat roof extension in Epsom keep leaking at the wall?
The flashing where the roof meets the house is one of the most common failure points. It can crack, lift or lose its seal over time. We check the flashing, outlets and covering on your Epsom extension, then explain whether a repair or a new flat roof makes more sense.
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.
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.
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.
