Commercial Flat Roofing Contractors - London & South East
High-Performance Flat Roofing for Commercial & Public Sector Projects
DL Jones Roofing Services has been delivering commercial flat roofing installations and refurbishments across London and the South East since 1987.
Based in South Croydon, our teams work daily across London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, and Essex – installing and maintaining flat roofing systems for local authorities, housing associations, schools, hospitals, property management companies, commercial landlords, and homeowners.
As approved installers of Bauder and Polyroof roofing systems, every flat roof we install carries a full manufacturer-backed warranty of up to 25 years – not just a contractor’s guarantee.
Our directly employed workforce means consistent quality and clear accountability on every project, from a single flat roof repair to a multi-building replacement programme.
Our Flat Roofing Systems
Bitumen Membrane Roofing (Bauder Approved)
Torch-applied and cold-applied bitumen membrane systems are one of the most proven and widely specified flat roofing solutions for commercial, public sector, and residential buildings in the UK. As approved Bauder installers, we deliver full Bauder system integration – including vapour control layers, insulation, waterproofing membrane, and green roof compatibility where required.
Bauder bitumen systems are particularly well-suited to schools, housing blocks, local authority buildings, and any project where long-term performance and warranty protection are priorities.
Best for: Industrial roofs, offices, cost-sensitive projects.
Single Ply Systems (Including EPDM & PVC)
Single-ply membrane roofing systems – including EPDM (rubber) and PVC – are lightweight, fast to install, and highly resistant to UV radiation and chemical exposure. They are an excellent choice for commercial units, industrial roofs, and new-build developments where installation speed and cost-efficiency are important factors. Single-ply systems can be mechanically fixed, fully adhered, or ballasted depending on the roof structure and specification.
They offer excellent long-term performance with minimal maintenance requirements. Best for: Industrial roofs, offices, new-build commercial developments, cost-sensitive projects.
Best for: Industrial roofs, offices, cost-sensitive projects.
Cold Applied Systems (Polyroof Approved)
Best for: Live sites, schools, hospitals, complex roof layouts.
Green Roofs
Green roofs – incorporating living vegetation into the roof build-up – are increasingly required by London planning authorities as a condition of development consent and form a key part of biodiversity net gain (BNG) compliance under the Environment Act 2021. We install extensive and biodiverse green roof systems in conjunction with Bauder waterproofing membranes, creating a fully integrated, warranted solution. Green roofs reduce stormwater run-off, improve thermal performance, extend the life of the waterproofing membrane beneath, and support urban biodiversity. Best for: Schools, housing developments, planning-driven projects, BREEAM assessments, biodiversity net gain compliance.
Best for: Eco-conscious developments, schools, civic buildings.
Warm Roof Build-Ups
Ideal for: Refurbishments, sustainability-focused projects, BREEAM targets.
Our Flat Roofing Process
Every flat roofing project at DL Jones follows the same structured process - from initial survey through to handover and warranty documentation. Here is what to expect.
Survey & Scoping
We carry out a thorough condition survey of the existing roof - or a pre-design survey for new build projects.
Design & Specification
We produce a detailed specification covering the system type, build-up, insulation values, drainage design, and any special requirements (green roof, solar PV compatibility, access hatches, etc.).
Quotation & Programme
We provide a clear, itemised written quotation with a project programme. No hidden extras - any known timber repairs or structural issues are included in the scope from the outset.
Installation
Our directly employed flat roofing teams carry out the installation in accordance with the manufacturer's specification and our own quality management procedures.
Quality Inspection
On completion, the roof is inspected by our contracts manager. We provide full handover documentation including the manufacturer's system warranty.
