Flat Roof Repairs and Replacements in Twickenham

A small flat roof leak is easy to live with for a while, but water that gets under the covering spreads through the deck and into the joists, and what could have been a patch becomes a full replacement. Ceilings below can also suffer, adding internal repairs to the bill. Ashlar Roofing repairs and replaces flat roofs in Twickenham, covering TW1 and TW2 across the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, on houses, flats and commercial units.

We start by finding where the water is getting in, which is not always above the stain. If the deck is still dry and the covering has some life left, a repair to the split, seam or flashing is the sensible step. If the boards have softened, we explain why a new EPDM, felt or GRP roof is better value, and quote for it clearly before anything is booked. Where both options are reasonable, you can compare the two.

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.

How it works

How Flat Roofing in Twickenham 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

Twickenham Flat Roofing Questions

Should I add insulation to my flat roof?

If the roof is being replaced, it is a good time to consider it. A warm roof build-up places insulation above the deck, which helps keep the room below comfortable and reduces the risk of condensation in the roof structure.

Which flat roof covering suits a rear extension in Twickenham?

For most rear extensions, EPDM rubber or torch-on felt is a practical choice, while GRP fibreglass suits roofs that double as a balcony. We discuss the options for your roof during the survey.

What causes flat roofs to leak?

Common causes are cracked or lifted felt, failed seams, blocked outlets, damaged flashings at the wall junction and impact damage. Many leaks start at the edges and upstands rather than in the middle of the roof.

Do you carry out flat roofing for businesses in Twickenham?

Yes. We take on commercial flat roofs across TW1 and TW2, from the rear roofs of shops to offices and industrial units. Work can be planned to limit disruption to trading.
