Flat Roofing in Reigate
Flat roof replacement covers stripping an existing flat roof back to the deck and re-covering it with a modern waterproof system — EPDM rubber membrane, GRP fibreglass or traditional felt — chosen according to the roof's size, detailing and expected lifespan.
In Reigate, that covers Woodhatch, Reigate Heath, Meadvale, Wray Park, Colley. Reigate sits at the foot of the North Downs, with a historic town centre and a number of well-established residential areas featuring substantial Victorian, Edwardian and interwar houses. Its position near the Surrey Hills National Landscape (formerly AONB) shapes planning policy for parts of the borough.

Property styles in Reigate
Reigate has a strong stock of larger detached and semi-detached Victorian and Edwardian houses, along with mock-Tudor interwar properties, many of which suit generously proportioned rear and wraparound extensions or double-storey additions.
Planning considerations
Reigate & Banstead Borough Council is the local planning authority. The historic town centre is a conservation area, and parts of the borough fall within the Surrey Hills National Landscape (National Landscape, formerly AONB), which brings additional design and landscape considerations for extensions and new structures.

FAQs
Flat Roofing in Reigate: FAQs
Do you provide flat roofing across all of Reigate?
Yes, we cover the RH2 postcode area in full, including Woodhatch, Reigate Heath, Meadvale, Wray Park, Colley.
Which flat roof system should I choose — EPDM, GRP or felt?
EPDM offers a long lifespan with a single membrane and few joints, suiting most domestic flat roofs; GRP suits roofs with complex upstands and detailing since it's laid and cured seamlessly in situ; felt is the lowest-cost option but has the shortest expected lifespan. We advise on the right system for your roof and budget at survey.
Why does my flat roof have ponding water?
Ponding usually means the roof's falls — the slight slope that directs water to an outlet — are insufficient or have settled over time. We assess and correct falls as part of re-covering rather than simply laying a new membrane over the same problem.
Does the Surrey Hills National Landscape designation affect extensions in Reigate?
For properties within the designated area, additional weight is given to landscape character and visual impact in planning decisions. We check whether your property falls within the boundary during feasibility.
