Flat Roofing Services in Teddington
Teddington is mostly Victorian and Edwardian houses, from small terraces near the High Street to larger homes close to Bushy Park and the river. Clay tile roofs, chimney stacks and flat roofs over rear extensions are what we work on most in TW11.
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. 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 Teddington, call 07467 757 367.
Flat Roofing for Homes and Businesses in Teddington
Behind many Teddington terraces sits a flat roof that nobody thinks about until it leaks. Rear extensions, bay tops and outriggers on Victorian and Edwardian houses often have flat sections, and the weak points are usually the same: flashings where the roof meets the main wall, and outlets clogged with leaves so water pools instead of draining.
We work with GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt systems and EPDM, and can add insulation when a roof is replaced. On older or more sensitive buildings we can use traditional solutions that suit the original construction. Some owners also want a flat roof that can take a terrace or solar panels, which is worth planning for at the outset. If the property is listed or in a conservation area, check with Richmond upon Thames council first. We also carry out flat roofing in Hampton and Petersham.
Our Staines head office is about 8 miles from Teddington, and we regularly work on homes and businesses across the area. 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 Teddington: Your Questions Answered
Why does the flat roof on my Teddington extension keep leaking?
The usual culprits are failed flashings where the flat roof meets the house wall, and outlets or gutters blocked with leaves so water sits on the surface. Older felt also breaks down with age. We inspect the whole roof, find the cause and recommend a repair or replacement.
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 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.
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.
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.
