Flat Roof Repairs and Replacements in East Ham

Flat roofs tend to give warning before they fail completely. Look for blisters or bubbles in the felt, cracks along the edges, moss or standing water that lingers long after rain, and damp patches on the ceiling below. If you are seeing any of these on a home or business in East Ham, Ashlar Roofing can inspect and repair or replace the roof across E6 and the London Borough of Newham.

An inspection starts at the edges, because upstands, trims and wall flashings are where many leaks begin. We then check the surface and, where needed, the deck itself for soft or rotten boards. Photos of anything we find are shared so you can see the problem for yourself. You receive a plain recommendation: a repair where the roof still has life in it, or a new EPDM, felt or GRP roof where it does not, with a quote agreed first.

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 East Ham 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

Your Flat Roof Questions Answered for East Ham

Can a flat roof be laid in wet weather?

Membranes need a dry deck to bond, so flat roofing is planned around the forecast. If rain arrives part way through a job, the roof is protected until work can continue.

Which flat roof covering suits a rear extension in East Ham?

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.

Do you work on commercial flat roofs?

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

Will a new flat roof in East Ham 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 Newham Council can advise, and we will explain what applies to your roof when we quote.
