Bauder Flat Roof Replacement: High-Spec Residential Property, Beulah Walk, Woldingham, Surrey

Client

Private Homeowner

Sector

Residential – New Build / High-Spec

Project Overview

DL Jones Roofing was appointed to resolve a complex roofing issue at a high-end residential property located in Beulah Walk, Woldingham. The home, with views overlooking a golf course, suffered from a poorly installed fibreglass flat roof system that was failing to meet structural or thermal performance standards. The client required a robust, long-lasting solution to replace the defective roofing and support existing solar infrastructure.

The Challenge

The existing fibreglass roof was installed on a timber substrate, but the workmanship was sub-par, resulting in persistent leaks, compromised insulation, and concerns about structural stability. The flat roof’s location and exposure meant any new system needed to offer outstanding weather resistance, energy efficiency, and compatibility with solar panels.

Our Solution

DL Jones Roofing proposed and delivered a full warm roof upgrade using the Bauder Bauderflex bitumen membrane system, renowned for its durability, high thermal performance, and weather resilience. We carried out a full strip-out of the failed roof, including the removal of the defective timber deck, and replaced it with a fully warrantied, Bauder-approved system.

As an approved Bauder installer, DL Jones’s work on this project qualifies for the full Bauder manufacturer’s warranty – not merely a contractor’s guarantee. System warranty documentation was provided on handover.

Scope of Work Included:

  • Full removal of existing fibreglass roofing and timber substrate
  • Installation of a new Bauder vapour control layer and high-performance insulation – full Bauder Bauderflex warm roof system
  • Multi-layer Bauder reinforced bitumen membrane waterproofing – installed to full manufacturer specification
  • Seamless integration with the property’s solar panel infrastructure
  • Careful detailing around edges, outlets, and drainage to ensure long-term integrity
  • Final high-spec finish in line with the property’s premium appearance

Results & Benefits

The new Bauderflex system delivered immediate improvements in thermal performance, waterproofing, and aesthetic finish. The client now benefits from:

  • A fully compliant, long-life roofing system backed by Bauder warranties
  • Reduced risk of future water ingress or insulation failure
  • Improved energy efficiency, reducing long-term heating costs
  • Compatibility with rooftop solar panels
  • Enhanced property value and peace of mind

This installation demonstrates DL Jones Roofing’s expertise in high-spec residential projects and our trusted partnership with Bauder as an approved installer of premium flat roofing solutions.

Solar Panel Integration

Every penetration through a flat roof waterproofing membrane is a potential failure point – and a poorly detailed solar fixing is a common cause of flat roof leaks, particularly on systems not designed with solar in mind from the outset. DL Jones worked through the solar integration in full detail, ensuring every fixing point was waterproofed to Bauder’s specification.

The solar infrastructure was fully functional on completion and the waterproofing integrity of the new roof was confirmed through a thorough post-installation inspection. For new projects integrating solar from the outset, see our dedicated solar PV roofing service.
