Flat Roofing Reading

Flat roofs fail at the details — upstands, outlets and joins — long before the middle of the sheet gives up. In Reading that matters more than most places: the RG1 area is dominated by Victorian terraces and large modern housing estates, and Thames Valley damp, exposed open ground and hard winter frosts test tiles, flashings and flat roofs every year. Our roofers know the period terraces in the Conservation Area near Reading centre and the streets around them, so we arrive with the right materials and the right access plan first time.

The rear additions and back extensions on Reading terraces nearly all have flat roofs; ours are laid with proper falls and upstands tucked into the brickwork so they stop leaking for good. Many newer homes in Reading have flat roofs over garages, porches and link sections; we fix the ponding and blistering these suffer from by adding firrings and a modern single-ply or GRP system.

How we work in Reading: we strip back to sound decking, replace anything soft, add firrings so water actually runs to the outlet, then lay a high-performance felt, EPDM or GRP system dressed properly into every upstand. You get a free inspection, clear photos and a fixed written quote before any flat roofing work begins. Most single-storey extension or garage flat roofs are completed within one to two days with minimal disruption.

We are a family-run, fully insured roofing company, not a call centre passing your details on. As well as Reading itself we cover Caversham, Tilehurst, Earley and the rest of Berkshire, so if you have been searching for roofers near me for flat roofing in RG1, you have found a local team who will actually turn up. The same crews that handle flat roofing in Reading are regularly working in Wokingham (about 7 miles away), Bracknell (about 10 miles away) and Sandhurst (about 10 miles away), so booking a slot in RG1 is rarely a long wait.
