Chimney Repairs
Is your Flat Roof Leaking? Has it started to sag or look worn? You are not alone. Many homes and businesses in Reading have this problem. Once a flat roof starts to fail, water gets in. That water can damage your ceilings and walls. It can ruin things stored underneath too.
Sure Shield Roofing Ltd deals with this problem every week. We are a Flat Roofing Reading company. We repair leaks. We replace worn roofs. We fit new flat roofs built to last. We explain what we find in plain words. We give you a fair price. We treat your property with care while we work.
A damaged flat roof rarely stays a small problem. Water getting in can cause damp patches. It can cause mould on your ceiling. It can raise your heating bills, because wet insulation does not work well. The longer a leak sits there, the more it usually costs to fix. If you spot a problem early, call us. We will look at what is really going on. Then we talk you through your options. We will not push you towards a bigger job than you need.
Sure Shield Roofing Ltd started in 2016. Our roofers bring over 10 years of combined experience to every job. We work on roofs across Reading, Berkshire, and the South East. This time with the tools has taught us a lot. We know how local weather wears down flat roofs, from heavy rain to strong winds. We also know the building rules that usually apply to roofing work here.
When you call us, you speak to someone who understands flat roofs. We explain things clearly. We tell you what we find. We tell you what it means. We tell you your choices. There are no hidden extras added once the job starts.
We are a roofing contractor Reading homeowners and businesses call for flat roof work. We take on jobs of every size. That might be a small repair on a garage roof. It might be a full flat roof replacement on a business unit. Whatever the size, we put the same care into the work.
Old felt roofs tend to crack and blister as they age. Once that happens, leaks usually follow. If your roof is too old to repair, we offer full flat roof replacement. We use materials that stand up to UK weather better than old felt. A new flat roof can add value to your property. It can also take away the worry of the next storm.
Flat roofs on garages, extensions, porches, and conservatories can leak too, even though they are small. We give these roofs the same care as a full house roof. We also carry out asbestos garage roof replacement. We follow the correct safety steps to protect everyone on site, including your family.
We fit flat roofs using modern systems. These include GRP fibreglass roofing, EPDM rubber roofing, and single ply roofing. Each one has its own strengths. GRP gives a smooth, tough finish with no seams. EPDM is flexible. It copes well if a building settles slightly over time. Single ply suits larger business roofs where speed matters. We talk you through the differences. This helps you pick the option that suits your building and your budget. We carry out flat roof installation work in line with relevant British Standards and current industry guidance.
Flat roofing is not the only work we do. Sure Shield Roofing Ltd offers a full range of roofing services Reading properties need. This means you do not need different companies for different jobs.
Alongside flat roofing, we install pitched roofs, tile roofing, and slate roofing. Do you have an old, period property? Do you have a modern home? Either way, we help you choose materials that suit your building's style. We also make sure the work meets the right building rules.
When fascias, soffits, or gutters get damaged, water can flow into your roofline and walls instead of draining away. We install and repair UPVC fascias and soffits. We also offer full guttering services. This covers gutter repairs, gutter cleaning, and downpipe replacement.
A small leak or a loose tile rarely stays small if you ignore it. Our roof repairs fix storm damage and wind damage. We fix everyday wear too before it spreads further into the roof. We also offer a roof maintenance plan. This means problems get spotted early, before they cause damage inside your home. We are the roofers Reading residents come back to. We give every job the same care, whether it is one tile or a full repair.
Chimneys often cause roof leaks when the pointing or flashing starts to fail. Our Chimney Repairs Reading service covers repointing, chimney rebuilding, and flashing repairs. We also do leadwork. This includes lead flashing, lead valleys, and lead soakers. This work keeps water out where your roof meets your chimney and walls.
There are many roofing companies to choose from. It is not always easy to know who to trust with a job on your home or business. Here is what you can expect from us.
We hold public liability insurance and employers' liability insurance. This means you are covered while we work on your property. Our roofers follow proper health and safety steps on site. This includes doing risk assessments before work begins.
We choose roofing materials that hold up well against UK weather, not just the cheapest option. Every job comes with a workmanship guarantee. If something goes wrong with our work, you know who to call.
Specialist craftsmanship, guaranteed work and a friendly local team.
We start with a free roof inspection. We get up on or close to the roof. We check the condition of the covering. We check the flashing and joints too. We try to find the real cause of any leak instead of guessing from the ground.
Once we know what the roof needs, you get a written, fixed-price quote. It sets out the work and the cost. This means no surprises once we start.
Our team uses proper scaffolding or access equipment when the job needs it. We take care to keep your property tidy while we work.
Once the work is finished, we check it over carefully. This means any issues get picked up before we leave, not after.
Specialist craftsmanship, guaranteed work and a friendly local team.

FAQ's
Most flat roofs last around 20 to 30 years. This depends on the material used and how well the roof has been looked after. EPDM rubber roofing and GRP fibreglass roofing tend to outlast older felt roofs, especially with regular checks.
It depends on your building and your budget. GRP fibreglass gives a strong surface with no seams. EPDM rubber is flexible and copes well with small building movements. Single ply roofing works well on larger business roofs. We can talk through which one fits your needs during your free inspection.
Often, yes. Many problems, like a small split or a local leak, can be fixed without replacing the whole roof. We check this first. This way, you only pay for a full replacement if the roof really needs one.
The cost depends on the size of the roof, the material used, and how much repair work is needed. We give you a free, no-obligation quote. This means you know the price before any work starts, with no hidden extras added later.
