Flat Roofing Services in Kingston upon Thames
Kingston upon Thames mixes Victorian and Edwardian homes, riverside apartments and busy town-centre commercial buildings. We work on pitched tile and slate roofs, flat roofs on extensions and shops, and chimney repairs on period properties.
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, with checks after severe weather, especially around flashings and drainage. Blocked outlets and drains are one of the most common reasons flat roofs leak.
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 Kingston upon Thames, call 07467 757 367.

Flat Roofing in Kingston upon Thames: What We See Locally
From shop roofs in the town centre to the backs of Victorian and Edwardian houses, there is no shortage of flat roofing in Kingston upon Thames. Leaks here are often caused by blocked drains and outlets, split coverings and failed flashings where a flat roof meets a wall or a pitched roof.
We install and repair GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt systems and EPDM, and can upgrade insulation when replacing a roof. For heritage buildings, a traditional solution may suit better than a modern system, and we can advise on this. Keeping outlets clear is essential, especially where leaves and debris collect, and checking flashings regularly can prevent bigger problems. Flat roofs can also support terraces or solar panels if the structure allows. We carry out flat roofing work in nearby Thames Ditton and East & West Molesey too.
At around 9 miles from our Staines office, Kingston upon Thames 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 the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Flat Roofing in Kingston upon Thames: Your Questions Answered
Can I put solar panels on my Kingston upon Thames flat roof?
Often, yes, as long as the roof structure and covering are in good condition. If the property is in a conservation area, it is worth checking with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. We can check the roof and advise whether it needs work before panels go on.
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.
