Flat Roofing Services in New Malden
New Malden is largely made up of 1920s and 1930s semi-detached houses, many extended with loft conversions and single-storey rear additions. Hipped tile roofs, dormers and flat roofs are where most of our work in KT3 is focused.
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.
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. 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 New Malden, call 07467 757 367.

Why New Malden Properties Need the Right Flat Roofing
Rear additions, dormers and garages mean flat roofs are a regular part of our work in New Malden. Common problems include water ponding on worn coverings, blocked outlets and failed flashings where a flat roof meets brickwork or a tiled slope.
We install and repair GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt systems and EPDM, and can add insulation when the roof is replaced. Regular checks of drains and outlets help prevent standing water, and flashings deserve attention because they are often where leaks begin. A flat roof can sometimes take a terrace or solar panels, but the structure and covering need to be suitable first. Where a flat roof sits over a kitchen or living space, better insulation can also make the room more comfortable. We provide flat roofing in Berrylands too.
New Malden is roughly 11 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 Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

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.
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.
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 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.
