Flat Roofing Services in Hounslow
Hounslow has Victorian terraces near the town centre and a large number of interwar semis, many extended with dormer loft conversions and rear additions. Flat roofs, dormer cheeks, tile roofs and guttering make up a big part of our work in TW3.
Flat roofs are a cost-effective choice, and every part of the roof surface can be used. 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. Outlets and drains need to be kept clear, as blockages are one of the main causes of leaks.
Our flat roofing systems include GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt, EPDM rubber and insulation upgrades, and on heritage buildings we use traditional solutions where they suit the property better. For a free flat roofing quote in Hounslow, call 07467 757 367.
Flat Roofing in Hounslow: What We See Locally
A large number of interwar semis in Hounslow have been extended with dormers and rear additions, which is why flat roofs are such a big part of our work in TW3. These roofs often fail at the flashings, where they meet tiled slopes or walls, and where outlets have become blocked so water pools.
We install GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt and EPDM systems, and can add insulation to improve comfort below. Keeping drains and outlets clear is essential, and we pay close attention to flashings during every job. A new flat roof can also be designed to carry solar panels or a terrace if you have plans for one, though a terrace may need consent from the council. We also carry out flat roofing in Lampton and Woodlands.
Hounslow is roughly 7 miles from our head office in Staines, well within the area our roofers cover every week. Most like-for-like roof work does not need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with the London Borough of Hounslow before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Flat Roofing in Hounslow: Your Questions Answered
Do you replace flat roofs on rear extensions in Hounslow?
Yes. We replace extension flat roofs in GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt or EPDM, with insulation if needed. We check the flashings where the roof meets the house and make sure outlets drain properly, as these are where most problems start.
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.
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.
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 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.
