Garage flat roofs
Garage roofs often have broad, exposed surfaces and simple drainage arrangements. The deck, perimeter, adjoining walls and gutter edge all need to work together.

LOCAL ROOFING SPECIALISTS
The right flat roof for the building.
Flat roofs are commonly used over garages, home extensions, porches, dormers, bay windows and outbuildings. Although described as flat, the roof needs a correctly formed fall so rainwater can move towards the appropriate outlet or gutter instead of remaining on the surface.
Jakeman Roofing Ltd works with flat roof coverings including traditional felt, fibreglass and suitable single-ply systems. The best choice depends on the size and shape of the roof, its existing deck, access, edge details, outlets and how the roof is used.
A successful replacement involves more than fitting the visible surface. The roof deck, falls, upstands, flashings, trims and drainage details should all be examined. We provide flat roofing services for properties in Ruislip, Harrow, Northwood, Ickenham and surrounding West London locations.
USEFUL INFORMATION
What this service covers
Extension flat roofs
An extension roof may include rooflights, outlets, parapets or junctions with the main building. These details need careful waterproofing and suitable upstands.
Felt roofing
Modern multi-layer felt systems can provide a robust covering for many domestic flat roofs when installed over a sound, suitably prepared deck.
Fibreglass roofing
A fibreglass system can create a seamless, durable finish on an appropriate roof. Preparation, dry installation conditions and correctly formed trims are important.
Single-ply roofing
Single-ply membranes may suit certain roof shapes and specifications. Outlets, seams, corners and perimeter details must be installed as part of the complete system.
Leaks and local repairs
Some isolated flat roof defects can be repaired. Where the covering or deck has widespread deterioration, replacement may offer a more reliable long-term approach.

Questions about
flat roofing
Every roof and property is different. Contact Jakeman Roofing Ltd for advice based on the condition of your roof.
Which flat roofing material is best?
There is no single material that is best for every roof. The roof size, deck, shape, outlets, details, access and budget should be considered before a system is recommended.
Can you replace a garage or extension flat roof?
Yes. Jakeman Roofing works on garage, extension, bay, porch, dormer and outbuilding roofs, subject to inspection and suitable access.
Why is water standing on my flat roof?
Standing water can be related to inadequate falls, deflection, blocked outlets or drainage details. The cause should be assessed before deciding on a repair or replacement.
