Flat Roof Installation: Perfect for West London’s Urban Homes
Flat roofs are popular throughout West London, especially on extensions and modern builds. We know from experience that if they’re not installed correctly, pooling water and leaks can become a serious headache. That’s why we use EPDM rubber membranes and GRP fiberglass, ensuring roofs can handle the region’s heavy rains and varying temperatures.
Our work has taken us to homes across West London. For example, in Fulham, we recently replaced an aging felt roof with a new GRP system, stopping leaks for good and improving the home’s energy efficiency.
Why Our Flat Roofs Work for West London Homes
- Materials like EPDM are weather-resistant and perfect for damp climates.
- Our team ensures proper drainage systems to eliminate ponding water.
- Flat roofs also work well with solar panel installations, increasingly popular in urban areas like Acton.

Pitched roofs are a defining feature of many properties in West London, especially in areas like Richmond and Kensington.

Recently, we repaired a Victorian slate roof in Chiswick, replacing broken tiles with 100% reclaimed slate to match the original design. By integrating modern underlay materials, we ensured it was ready for decades of use without sacrificing its authentic look.
