Flat Roofing in Westerham, Kent

Have you ever looked out of an upstairs window after a downpour and seen a mini-lake sitting on your extension? Most homeowners we speak to in Westerham tell us they're worried about 'ponding' water or that old, blistering bitumen felt that's seen better days. If your flat roof is more than 15 years old, it might be struggling to shed water properly. Left alone, that standing water can find its way into your timber deck, leading to expensive rot. We specialise in identifying these weak points early, often saving you a fortune by fixing a small leak before it becomes a total replacement job.

Imagine a roof with absolutely no joints or seams where water could possibly creep in. That’s exactly what you get with GRP fibreglass. It’s essentially a single, tough skin that’s laminated right over your roof deck. It’s incredibly popular here in Kent for balconies and walkways because it’s tough enough to walk on and looks fantastic. Our team is fully trained in the chemical curing process, ensuring a perfectly smooth finish that won't crack or peel. It’s a fit-and-forget solution that really does take the stress out of home maintenance.

If you're looking for longevity, you can't really beat EPDM rubber. This single-ply membrane is famous for lasting upwards of 50 years. Why? Because it’s incredibly flexible. It handles the 'thermal shock' of a hot summer day followed by a freezing night without becoming brittle. We often recommend EPDM for larger flat roofs or residential extensions because it’s environmentally friendly and installs without the need for open flames. It's a clean, quiet, and highly durable way to protect your biggest asset.

Forget the thin, papery felt of the 1970s. Modern torch-on felt is a different beast entirely. We use high-performance elastomeric membranes that are reinforced with polyester for extra strength. It’s a brilliant, cost-effective choice for garage roofs and outbuildings. We take great care with the upstands and abutments—the tricky bits where the roof meets the wall—to make sure every single inch is watertight. It’s all about the preparation; we make sure the substrate is perfect before the first layer even goes down.
