Flat Roofing Services in Tooting
Tooting is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraced streets, plus the early 20th-century Totterdown Fields cottage estate. Many homes have rear extensions and loft dormers, so flat roofs, valley gutters and chimney stacks are where problems most often appear.
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.
Good installation and regular maintenance are what make a flat roof last, 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 Tooting, call 07467 757 367.

Local Flat Roofing Specialists in Tooting
Ask us where problems most often appear on Tooting roofs and flat roofs will be near the top of the list. The single-storey rear additions behind so many terraces, plus the tops of loft dormers, mean almost every street has dozens of them, many covered with ageing felt.
We install GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt systems and EPDM, and we can add insulation when the roof is replaced. On older or heritage buildings, traditional solutions are available. Two things cause most of the failures we see: blocked drains and outlets that leave water standing, and flashings that have cracked where the roof meets a wall. If you are thinking of a roof terrace or solar panels, a flat roof can usually take them with the right preparation. We provide flat roofing in Balham and Colliers Wood as well.
Our Staines head office is about 15 miles from Tooting, and we regularly work on homes and businesses across the area. 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 Wandsworth Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Flat Roofing in Tooting: Your Questions Answered
What is the best covering for a small flat roof in Tooting?
For small extension and dormer roofs, GRP fibreglass is a popular choice, while mineral felt and EPDM suit other situations. We look at the size, access and use of the roof, check the outlets and flashings, and recommend the system that makes the most sense.
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.
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.
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.
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.
