Flat roofing in London

Look beyond the surface.

A flat roof needs more than a waterproof covering. Its condition is also influenced by drainage, the supporting deck, insulation and the details at edges, walls and penetrations. We consider the roof as a system when discussing the work.

We work with liquid waterproofing, GRP and felt roofing, with the approach chosen around the roof’s condition and requirements. Tell us about leaks, standing water, soft areas or previous overlays when you enquire.

Repair, overlay or full renewal?

A sound roof with a local defect may be repairable. An overlay depends on the suitability and condition of what remains beneath it. Where the retained construction is deteriorated or unsuitable, stripping the roof may provide a more appropriate route. The recommendation follows assessment rather than a surface appearance alone.

The details that shape the specification

We discuss the waterproofing alongside drainage and the condition of the existing construction. Where the scope calls for investigation or specialist design input, this needs to be identified before the work is agreed.

• Deck condition and areas of deterioration
• Falls, outlets and rainwater drainage
• Roof edges, upstands and parapets
• Insulation and ventilation considerations
• Pipe penetrations, rooflights and access hatches

Flat roofing for blocks and managed buildings

For freeholders and managing agents, a clear schedule of work helps explain the scope and compare quotations. We can discuss condition reporting, access, occupied areas and how the roof work will be organised.
