BuckinghamshireFlat roofing in Chesham and across
Flat roofs are brilliant when they’re done properly. They suit extensions, garages and dormers, they’re neat, and they make great use of space. The trouble is, when a flat roof starts to fail, it can go from “fine” to “soaked ceiling” surprisingly quickly — especially after a spell of heavy rain or a cold snap where water sits and finds a weak point.
At Southeast Roofing & Building, we provide flat roofing in Chesham and throughout Buckinghamshire, covering both flat roof repair and full flat roofing installation. We’ve got 10 years’ experience, all work is fully insured and guaranteed, and we’re proud of the reviews we’ve earned on Checkatrade, TrustATrader and Google. If you need a practical fix or you’re planning a new flat roof that you don’t want to think about again for years, we’ll guide you through it properly.
Our flat roofing service in Chesham
We work on flat roofs of all shapes and sizes — from small garage roofs to larger extension roofs and dormers. Some need a straightforward repair, others are at end of life and need replacing. Either way, we’ll assess the roof and recommend the right option, not the most expensive one.
We’ll talk you through what’s best for your property, your budget, and how the roof is used (for example, whether it’s purely weatherproofing or if it gets occasional foot traffic for access).
What our service includes
Our flat roofing work typically covers:
Leak detection and flat roof repair for splits, failed joints and worn areas
Replacement of old coverings where repairs aren’t cost-effective
New flat roofing installation for extensions, garages, porches and dormers
Upgrades to roof edges, trims and outlets to improve water run-off
Repairs around roof junctions, wall abutments and parapets
Advice on ventilation and insulation performance where relevant
EPDM and GRP fibreglass roofing
EPDM roofing – a durable rubber membrane that’s popular for extensions and garages
GRP fibreglass roofing – a strong, seamless finish that’s great for long-term performance when installed correctly
Areas we cover
We’re based around Chesham and work across Buckinghamshire day in, day out. That includes nearby places such as Amersham, Great Missenden, Wendover, Beaconsfield, High Wycombe, Aylesbury, and the surrounding villages. If you’re just outside these areas, it’s still worth getting in touch — chances are we’re working nearby already.
Why choose us

Local knowledge that matters in Buckinghamshire weather We’re working around Chesham and across Buckinghamshire week in, week out.

Four Simple Steps
Can a flat roof be repaired, or does it usually need replacing?
It depends on the condition. Small splits, localised damage or failing trims can often be repaired. If the covering is brittle, heavily cracked, or failing across multiple areas, replacement is usually the smarter long-term option.
What’s better: EPDM or GRP fibreglass roofing?
Both are solid systems when installed properly. EPDM is a flexible rubber membrane that’s widely used for extensions and garages. GRP creates a seamless fibreglass finish that’s very robust. We’ll recommend what suits the roof design and how it’s used.
How quickly can you attend for a flat roof leak?
If water is coming in, call us. We’ll advise you straight away and arrange a visit as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
Do you install flat roofs on new extensions?
Yes. We provide flat roofing installation for extensions, garages and outbuildings, including finishes like EPDM and GRP.
Is your work guaranteed and insured?
Yes — all our work is guaranteed, and we’re fully insured.
