Flat Roofing Across Ealing
Flat roofs are especially common on Ealing’s housing. For instance, many Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Ealing Broadway and South Ealing have rear outriggers. Their original flat roofs are now well past their intended lifespan. Similarly, 1930s semis across Hanger Hill and West Ealing often have flat-roof garages beside the house. Many also gained single-storey kitchen or bathroom extensions between the 1960s and 1980s. These almost always have flat felt roofs that are now failing.
In Hanwell and W7, however, flat roof extensions are even more common. The post-war housing here saw widespread rear extension work during the home-improvement boom. However, the three-layer felt used at the time typically lasts only 15 to 20 years. As a result, properties that have not been re-roofed since now suffer blistering, cracking and ponding water. Leaks also appear where the flat section meets the original pitched roof.
We replace these ageing flat roofs with modern systems that last significantly longer. EPDM rubber membrane carries a manufacturer-backed life expectancy of 50 years or more, while GRP fibreglass creates a single seamless surface with no joints to fail. Both options therefore provide a permanent solution to the recurring leaks that come with old felt flat roofs.
What Our Ealing Flat Roofing Service Includes
- Flat roof replacement — Stripping the existing covering, then repairing the timber deck and installing a new EPDM or GRP system with proper falls for drainage.
- EPDM rubber roofing — Single-piece membrane installation with no seams or joints. Ideal for rear extensions, garage roofs and dormer tops. UV-stable, flexible in cold weather, and carries a 50-year life expectancy.
- GRP fibreglass roofing — Seamless resin-and-glass system that cures to form a single watertight surface. Suitable for balconies and walkable areas, as well as roofs that need a hard-wearing finish.
- Felt roof repairs — Patching blisters, resealing joints and replacing damaged sections when full replacement is not yet needed.
- Extension roofs — Flat roofing for new rear and side extensions, as well as the critical upstand and flashing detail.
- Dormer roofs — Waterproofing dormer cheeks and tops with EPDM or GRP, as well as lead flashing at the main roof junction.
- Garage and outbuilding roofs — Replacing old corrugated or felt coverings on detached and integral garages, sheds and outbuildings.
EPDM vs GRP — Which Flat Roof System Suits Your Ealing Property?
EPDM rubber membrane is the most common choice for straightforward flat roofs on extensions, garages and outbuildings. It is a single sheet of synthetic rubber, so it bonds to the deck without heat or flame. It flexes with thermal movement and resists UV. In addition, it has no seams, so there are no joints to fail over time. For this reason, most domestic flat roofs in Ealing are best served by EPDM.
GRP fibreglass cures to form a rigid, seamless shell. As a result, it is the better choice when the roof will be walked on, such as a balcony or roof terrace, or when you need a hard-wearing finish. GRP is also used on more complex roof shapes where a rigid surface holds its form better than a flexible membrane.
We will recommend the appropriate system during the free inspection, based on the size, shape and intended use of your flat roof.

FAQs
Ealing Flat Roofing Questions Answered
How much does flat roofing cost in Ealing?
Flat roof costs depend on the size of the roof and the system chosen (EPDM or GRP). They also depend on the condition of the existing deck. We do not quote without inspecting first. Instead, every flat roof gets a free inspection and a fixed written quote, so you know the exact price before work starts.
How long does a flat roof replacement take in Ealing?
Most single-storey extension roofs and garage roofs in Ealing are completed in one to two working days. Larger or more complex jobs may take two to three days. We then confirm the timescale in the written quote.
How long will a new EPDM or GRP flat roof last?
EPDM rubber membrane carries a manufacturer-backed life expectancy of 50 years or more. GRP fibreglass is similarly long-lasting when installed correctly. Both are therefore a big upgrade from traditional felt, which typically lasts 15 to 20 years.
Can you flat-roof a new extension in Ealing?
Yes. We provide flat roofing for new-build extensions, working with your builder or directly with you. We install the membrane or fibreglass system. We also handle the critical upstand and flashing details.
Is your flat roofing work guaranteed?
Yes. In addition, every flat roof installation comes with a written guarantee covering our workmanship. EPDM and GRP systems also carry manufacturer material warranties, which we pass on to you.
