Flat roofing on Godalming extensions
- 01
Where the roof meets the house
On an extension, the flat roof meets the house wall, and that join is where many leaks start. It needs an upstand and flashing tucked into the brickwork above. When we re-cover an extension roof, we rebuild this detail properly rather than relying on sealant.

Insulating a flat roof
Replacing a flat roof covering usually means the insulation has to be brought up to current standards under building regulations. A warm roof, with insulation laid on top of the deck, is the usual choice. It keeps the room below warmer and cuts the risk of condensation.

Outlets and rooflights
Water needs a clear route off the roof, through a gutter at the edge or an outlet into a downpipe. Rooflights and vents are other points where water can get in. We pay close attention to all of these, as they're where most flat roof leaks are found.
Booking flat roofing in Godalming
We come to Godalming from our base in Billingshurst. On the first visit, we check the covering, the deck, the wall join and the room below, and talk through felt or rubber. Your free quote sets out the covering, insulation and any deck repairs.
On the day, we strip the old roof, repair the deck, lay insulation where it's part of the job and fit the new covering. We finish the upstands, trims and outlets, then check everything drains properly. Building control sign-off is explained in advance.
Choices to make
- Felt or EPDM rubber
- Edge trim colour
- Whether to add a rooflight

Flat roofing in Godalming: common questions
Does a new flat roof in Godalming need building regulations approval?
Usually, yes, if most of the covering is being replaced, because the insulation has to meet current standards. Repairs to small areas normally don't need approval. We'll tell you which applies to your roof and how the sign-off works before any work begins.
What's a warm flat roof for my Godalming extension?
A warm roof has the insulation laid on top of the timber deck, with the waterproof covering over it. This keeps the deck and joists warm, which reduces the risk of condensation inside the roof. It's the usual way to insulate a flat roof when it's replaced.
Why does my extension roof in Godalming leak at the wall?
Usually because the upstand or flashing where the roof meets the house has failed, or was only sealed with mastic. Water then runs down behind the covering. We rebuild the join with a proper upstand and flashing tucked into the wall, which lasts far longer.
Can you fix a flat roof that holds water in Godalming?
Yes. We fix ponding by adding tapered insulation or timber firrings to create a fall, so water runs to the edge or an outlet. This is usually done when the roof is being re-covered. Raising the roof level can affect the edge trims and nearby windows, which we check first.
