What flat roof work do we do in Leatherhead?
Commercial flat roofing
We are flat roof specialists, so a commercial roof in Leatherhead gets a system chosen for the job: single-ply for large, simple areas, built-up felt where there is foot traffic and plant, or a liquid overlay where the existing roof is sound. The survey explains the trade-offs in plain terms.
Emergency leak repairs
Leaves and debris build up in outlets and gutters on flat roofs around Leatherhead, especially under trees. A blocked outlet can turn a normal rainstorm into a flood over the upstands. Clearing it is often part of the emergency visit, and the permanent fix looks at why it blocked.
Flats, HMOs and block roofs
When a roof over heated flats in Leatherhead is replaced, insulation rules usually apply. We design the warm-roof build-up towards the required standard where that is feasible and handle building control where it is needed, so the work is signed off properly and the top-floor flats are better insulated.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Leatherhead?
In a town like Leatherhead flat roofs are mostly on terraced streets with flat-roofed rear kitchens and bathrooms and shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. Weather matters on a flat roof. 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.
Who approves flat roof work in Leatherhead?
Where approval is needed it goes to Mole Valley District Council building control, or a registered building control approver. Replacing more than half of a roof over a heated room usually counts as renovating a thermal element, so it is insulated to current standards and notified to building control. How the rules work.
