Flat Roofing Services in Wimbledon
Wimbledon covers the Victorian terraces near the town centre and large detached houses around Wimbledon Village and the Common, many with clay tile roofs, decorative ridges and tall chimneys. Several parts of Wimbledon are conservation areas, so like-for-like materials matter.
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, with checks after severe weather, especially around flashings and drainage. 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 Wimbledon, call 07467 757 367.
Flat Roofing for Homes and Businesses in Wimbledon
Flat roofs in Wimbledon range from the small rear additions on Victorian terraces to wide roofs over extensions, garages and commercial premises. Whatever the size, the same weak points tend to show up: outlets and drains that have blocked, and flashings that have cracked or come away from walls.
We install GRP fibreglass, three-layer mineral felt and EPDM, and we can add insulation to improve comfort below. For heritage buildings, traditional flat roofing solutions may be more appropriate, and in conservation areas it is worth checking with the London Borough of Merton if anything visible will change. Flat roofs can also be designed to take a roof terrace or solar panels with the right preparation, though planning consent may be needed. We provide flat roofing for homeowners in Colliers Wood and Coombe as well.
At around 13 miles from our Staines office, Wimbledon 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 Merton before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Flat Roofing in Wimbledon: Your Questions Answered
Can I add solar panels to a flat roof on my Wimbledon home?
Flat roofs can often take solar panels, but the covering and structure need to be in good condition first. In conservation areas, consent may be needed, so check with the London Borough of Merton. We can renew or prepare the roof so it is ready for panels.
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.
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.
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.
