Flat Roofing in Leatherhead, Surrey

We've all been there—you look up after a heavy Surrey downpour and notice a damp patch spreading across the ceiling. Most homeowners we speak to in Leatherhead are worried about 'ponding' water, where puddles sit on the roof for days. This usually happens because the roof hasn't been pitched correctly or the old bitumen felt has started to crack and blister. If you've spotted water sitting still or bits of grit in your gutters, it's a sign that the substrate might be at risk. We don't believe in quick fixes that fail six months later. Instead, we'll take a proper look, find the root of the problem, and suggest a fix that actually lasts.

Imagine a roofing material that's so tough it can last for over 50 years. That’s exactly what EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene monomer) brings to the table. It’s a single-ply membrane that we lay in large sheets, meaning there are very few seams where leaks could start. It’s incredibly flexible, so it doesn't crack when the Surrey weather swings from a freezing winter morning to a scorching summer afternoon. Many of our customers in the North Downs choose EPDM for their extensions because it's environmentally friendly and practically maintenance-free. It’s a 'fit it and forget it' solution that gives you one less thing to worry about.

If you're looking for a roof that's tough enough to walk on, GRP fibreglass is the way to go. It’s a liquid-applied system that cures into a single, seamless 'shell' over your roof deck. Because there are no joints at all, there's nowhere for water to get in. It's a popular choice for balconies or roofs that need to handle a bit of foot traffic. We've installed these all over Leatherhead and Ashtead, and they look fantastic too—neat, tidy, and very modern. Plus, we can finish it in a variety of colours to suit the look of your house. It’s a high-performance option that's as durable as it is smart.

Don't confuse modern torch-on felt with the thin, papery stuff used decades ago. Today’s high-performance elastomeric felt is reinforced with polyester, making it incredibly strong and resistant to tearing. We use a three-layer system that creates a thick, waterproof barrier. It’s still one of the most cost-effective ways to protect a garage or a shed, and when it’s installed by specialists who know how to handle a torch properly, it'll easily last 20 to 25 years. We make sure all the upstands and edges are sealed tight, so you won't have to worry about the edges peeling up in a storm.
