Flat Roofing Services in Strawberry Hill
Strawberry Hill, named after Horace Walpole’s Gothic house, is mostly Edwardian and interwar family homes with clay tile roofs, hipped ends and bay windows. Ridge tiles, valleys and old fascia boards are the usual weak points we find here.
Flat roofing is popular because it is cost-effective and the whole surface of the roof can be put to use. Built properly, a flat roof can also support a terrace or solar panels.
Good installation and regular maintenance are what make a flat roof last, 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.
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 Strawberry Hill, call 07467 757 367.
Flat Roofing for Homes and Businesses in Strawberry Hill
Over garages, porches, bay tops and rear extensions, Strawberry Hill’s Edwardian and interwar homes have plenty of small flat roofs. They are hard-working, and the trouble usually starts at the same places: blocked outlets that leave water ponding, and flashings where the flat roof meets the house, which are a common failure point. We repair and replace flat roofs in fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt or EPDM, with insulation where useful.
For older or more traditional properties, we can use heritage-style solutions. A well built flat roof can also take a terrace or solar panels, though the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames should be asked if consent is needed. We look at the whole roof, not just the patch that leaks. We cover flat roofing in Fulwell and St Margarets too.
At around 7 miles from our Staines office, Strawberry Hill sits within our core area across South West London. 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 Richmond upon Thames before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Flat Roofing in Strawberry Hill: Your Questions Answered
What flat roof options suit a Strawberry Hill porch or garage?
GRP fibreglass is a popular choice for small roofs like porches and garages, giving a seamless finish. Three-layer mineral felt is a reliable traditional option, and EPDM suits larger areas. We check drainage and flashings and recommend the right system for your roof.
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.
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.
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.

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.
