Flat Roofs in Stratford

New and Repaired Flat Roofs in Stratford

Choosing a flat roof covering is mostly about how the roof will be used. A garage that nobody steps on has different needs from a balcony, a dormer or the roof of a shop. The covering that suits one roof can be the wrong choice for the next. Ashlar Roofing installs EPDM rubber, torch-on felt and GRP fibreglass systems in Stratford, across E15 and E20, and throughout the London Borough of Newham, on domestic and commercial buildings.

EPDM is a single-sheet membrane with very few joins, which makes it a dependable choice for most extensions. Felt systems are built up in layers and handle complex shapes and larger areas well. GRP cures to a hard surface that copes with light foot traffic. The number of upstands, outlets and rooflights also plays a part. On the survey we look at size, access and use, then recommend the covering that suits your roof and price it clearly.

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

Pricing a Flat Roof in Stratford

In Stratford, the cost of a flat roof depends on the system and the roof itself:

  • 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 Stratford 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

Flat Roof Questions from Stratford Homeowners

Can a flat roof be repaired rather than replaced?

Often, yes. Isolated splits, blisters or a failed seam can be repaired if the deck beneath is dry and sound. If the covering has failed in several places or the boards have gone soft, replacement is usually the sounder choice.

Do you cover flat roofing in Stratford?

Yes. Ashlar Roofing works across Greater London, including Stratford and the E15 and E20 postcodes. We repair and replace flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers and commercial buildings.

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.

Will a new flat roof in Stratford 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.
