What flat roof work do we do in West Molesey?

Emergency leak repairs

Older felt roofs in West Molesey that have lost their chippings dry out and crack, and a cold snap can open those cracks enough to let water through. A temporary repair stops the immediate leak, but a roof like that often needs a frank conversation about replacement.

Extension and kitchen roofs

Extension roofs in West Molesey are often replaced because the original was built cheaply: thin chipboard decks, little or no insulation and felt turned up the wall without a proper flashing. Twenty or thirty years on, those weaknesses show up as leaks at the back wall and a cold, damp ceiling.

Commercial flat roofing

Businesses in West Molesey 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.

What flat roofs are typical in and around West Molesey?

In a town like West Molesey flat roofs are mostly on lock-up garage blocks on estates and newer estates where the first extension roofs are now being replaced. 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 West Molesey?

Where approval is needed it goes to Elmbridge Borough Council building control, or a registered building control approver.
