Flat Roofing Services in Wandsworth
Wandsworth ranges from the Victorian terraces of the Southfields grid and the Tonsleys to newer riverside apartments around the town centre. Slate roofs, shared chimney stacks, parapet gutters and flat-roofed extensions are all common across SW18.
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, 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.
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 Wandsworth, call 07467 757 367.

Flat Roofing for Homes and Businesses in Wandsworth
Flat-roofed extensions are common across SW18, from single-storey back additions on Southfields terraces to larger roofs on newer buildings near the river. When they fail, water tends to show up in a kitchen ceiling or around a rooflight.
We install GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt and EPDM, and can add insulation when a roof is being renewed. Heritage buildings can be given a more traditional treatment. In our experience, the two biggest causes of trouble are outlets and drains that have been left to block, and flashings that have cracked where the roof meets a wall. Both are worth checking every year. A well-built flat roof can also support a terrace or solar panels with the right preparation. We carry out flat roofing for homeowners in Wandsworth as well as neighbouring Tooting and Roehampton.
At around 14 miles from our Staines office, Wandsworth sits within our core area across South West London. 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 Wandsworth: Your Questions Answered
Can my Wandsworth flat roof be turned into a roof terrace?
Often it can, but the structure, waterproofing and access all need checking first, and planning consent may be needed, so it is worth confirming with Wandsworth Council. We can assess the roof, advise on a suitable covering and prepare it properly for a terrace.
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.
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.
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.
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.
