Flat Roofing Across Richmond
Flat roofing in Richmond, however, covers a wider range of uses than in most West London boroughs. For instance, the Georgian terraces in TW9 have hidden parapet gutters behind the front walls. These flat channels rely on lead sheet to carry water to the downpipes. When this lead cracks, water then pools behind the parapet and seeps into the building. As a result, relining these gutters with new lead or a modern membrane is one of our most important flat roofing tasks in Richmond.
On Richmond Hill and across TW10, larger Victorian and Edwardian homes often have flat-roofed dormers and roof terraces. They also have flat sections linking different parts of complex roofs. These flat areas therefore need hard-wearing, long-lasting coverings.
Like the rest of West London, Richmond also has many flat-roof rear extensions from the 1960s to 1980s. In Ham and the TW10 estates, flat-roof garages and utility buildings are common. Most are covered in three-layer felt that is now blistered, cracked and leaking.
We replace failing flat roofs with a system that suits the property. For example, we use EPDM for standard roofs and GRP for walkable surfaces, while lead suits listed and conservation-area homes.

Flat Roofing Materials — Which System for Your Richmond Property?
EPDM rubber membrane is the standard choice for most residential flat roofs — extensions, garage tops, outbuildings and dormer roofs where there is no regular foot traffic and no conservation restriction. It is a single rubber sheet with no seams. It also handles thermal movement and UV, with a 50-year-plus life expectancy.
GRP fibreglass is the better option where the flat roof will be walked on regularly — a roof terrace, balcony, or outdoor access. This is because the cured fibreglass forms a rigid, seamless shell that withstands foot traffic.
Lead sheet is used on properties where conservation-area or listed-building rules require traditional materials. In fact, lead has been used on Richmond's Georgian buildings for centuries, so it still suits parapet gutter relining. We work with Code 4 and Code 5 lead.

FAQs
Richmond Flat Roofing Questions Answered
How much does flat roofing cost in Richmond?
Costs depend on the size and system, as well as whether heritage materials such as lead are needed. Every flat roof gets a free inspection and fixed written quote — no hidden extras.
Do you reline parapet gutters on Georgian properties?
Yes. Parapet gutter relining is one of our most common flat roofing tasks in Richmond TW9. First, we strip the failed lead and repair the boarding. Then we reline with new lead or EPDM laid to proper falls.
Can you use lead on my conservation-area property?
Yes. We work with Code 4 and Code 5 lead for conservation-area and listed properties. Lead is therefore the right material for parapet gutters and flat sections on protected Richmond properties.
How long will a new flat roof last?
EPDM carries a 50-year-plus life expectancy. GRP fibreglass is similarly long-lasting. Lead, properly installed, lasts 60 to 100 years. All are therefore major upgrades from felt, which typically lasts 15 to 20 years.
Is your flat roofing work guaranteed?
Yes. Every installation comes with a written workmanship guarantee. EPDM and GRP carry manufacturer warranties. Lead work also carries our own workmanship guarantee.
