Flat Roofs in Ealing

Flat Roofing in Ealing

Torch-on felt has moved a long way from the single-layer roofing felt many people remember. Modern systems use a base layer and a mineral-surfaced cap sheet bonded with heat, giving a tough, layered finish that suits larger and more complex flat roofs. It remains a common choice on commercial buildings for the same reason. Ashlar Roofing installs felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass roofs in Ealing, covering W5 and W13 across the London Borough of Ealing.

Each system has its strengths. Felt handles awkward shapes and multiple upstands well, rubber is quick to lay on simple roofs with few joins and fibreglass gives a rigid surface for balconies. We look at your roof's size, shape, use and access before recommending one, and explain why. Budget matters too, so we explain how the systems compare on cost. The quote sets out the chosen system and the preparation work, agreed with you in advance.

What's included

What a New or Repaired Flat Roof Includes

The main parts of the job, each listed in your quote.

  • An inspection of the existing deck and timbers, so a new covering is laid on a sound base rather than over hidden rot.
  • A choice of rubber, felt or fibreglass covering, matched to the roof's size, use and budget so you are not paying for more than it needs.
  • Insulation options when the roof is replaced, helping to keep the room below warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
  • Correct falls and outlets, so rainwater drains away instead of pooling and wearing out the covering early.
  • Properly detailed upstands, trims and flashings where the roof meets walls, which is where many flat roof leaks begin.
  • Repairs to splits, blisters and failed seams on existing roofs, where the deck is sound and a repair makes more sense than replacement.

Pricing

Flat Roof Costs in Ealing

Across W5 and W13, flat roof prices are driven by:

  • The size of the roof and how many upstands, outlets or rooflights it has
  • The membrane chosen (EPDM, torch-on felt or GRP)
  • The condition of the deck and joists once the old covering is lifted
  • Whether insulation is added to bring the roof up to current standards
  • Access, including whether materials have to be carried through the house

How it works

How Flat Roofing in Ealing Is Arranged

What happens from your first call or message to the finished work.

  1. Book a Survey

    Tell us about the roof by phone or through the form. Photos on WhatsApp of the roof and any stains inside help us understand the problem before we visit.

  2. Inspection and Quote

    We check the covering, deck, falls and edge details, then recommend a repair or a replacement and set out a quote that is agreed before work starts.

  3. Preparing the Roof

    On the day, the old covering is stripped where needed, the deck is checked and any rotten boards are replaced so the new roof has a solid base.

  4. Laying and Finishing

    The new membrane or repair is installed with its trims and flashings, then we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Ealing Flat Roofing Questions

Can you replace the flat roof on my garage in Ealing?

Yes. Garage roofs suit EPDM rubber or felt well. Older garage roofs often have a worn covering over boards that have softened, so we check the deck first and quote for the roof you actually have.

How long does a flat roof replacement take?

Most domestic extension and garage roofs take days rather than weeks. The exact time depends on the roof's size, the weather and how much decking needs replacing after stripping.

Will a new flat roof in Ealing need Building Regulations approval?

Replacing more than a quarter of a roof's area can bring Building Regulations into play, mainly for insulation. Building control at Ealing Council can advise, and we will explain what applies to your roof when we quote.

Do you work on commercial flat roofs?

Yes. Ashlar Roofing handles domestic and commercial flat roofing, including garages, extensions, dormers, shops and offices.
