What flat roof work do we do in Caterham?

Commercial flat roofing

Businesses in Caterham need a roofing contractor who arrives with a plan, not just a price. We put the system, build-up, phasing, access and payment terms in a fixed written quote, and keep each section of the roof watertight before the team leaves site, so trading is not put at risk.

Single-ply membrane roofing

For a commercial roof in Caterham with rooflights, plant and outlets, single-ply's welded details give a consistent finish. Pre-formed corners, membrane-coated trims and welded kerbs are all made in the same material as the main roof, which keeps the roof consistent and simplifies any future repairs.

Warm roof insulation upgrades

Small commercial buildings in Caterham with large flat roofs can lose a lot of heat through them. Where the roof is being replaced, upgrading the insulation at the same time is required in most cases and helps reduce running costs for the occupier.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Caterham?

In a town like Caterham flat roofs are mostly on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers and low-rise post-war blocks of flats. Local weather shapes the specification. Much of the South East sits in the drier Thames catchment at roughly 730 mm of rain a year, so the usual failures are at joints, upstands and outlets rather than from sheer volume of rain. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.
