Based in Croydon CR0, directly bordering Bromley, we offer fast survey response times and a thorough knowledge of the property types found across the area.

No subcontractors, no remote project management, no unfamiliar crews on your roof.
Bromley's housing stock spans a wide range, from Victorian and Edwardian slate-roofed terraces in Beckenham, Penge, and Shortlands to the larger 1930s and 1950s detached and semi-detached houses in Orpington, Chislehurst, and Keston, many of which have flat-roofed rear extensions that require specialist waterproofing. Hills Roofing Ltd installs the full range of pitched and flat roofing systems to suit every property type in the borough.
Natural slate is the standard roof covering on Bromley's older Victorian and Edwardian stock, including the terraces and semis of Beckenham, Penge, Shortlands, and the older parts of Bromley town itself. Hills Roofing Ltd installs natural Welsh slate and high-quality fibre cement slate using dry ridge and dry verge systems as standard, eliminating mortar cracking and future maintenance issues at the ridge line. For period properties in Bromley's conservation areas, including parts of Beckenham and Chislehurst, like-for-like natural slate with dry fixing is the correct and often required approach.
Bromley's substantial stock of 1930s to 1960s housing, particularly the larger detached and semi-detached properties in Orpington, Chislehurst, and Bickley, is predominantly tiled in concrete interlocking or plain clay tiles. Hills Roofing Ltd installs both systems, matching existing profiles where possible for extensions and additional roofwork, and advising on compatible modern alternatives for full re-roofs. All tiled installations use correct batten gauge, underlay specification, and dry ridge fixing.
GRP fibreglass is the most popular flat roof system we install on Bromley properties. Rear extension roofs, garage roofs, and bay window tops across the borough are prime candidates, as GRP provides a seamless, joint-free waterproof surface with a typical 25-year guarantee and very low maintenance requirement once installed. We install GRP on a correctly prepared deck with full structural assessment, using a primer, laminate, and coloured topcoat system to industry-wide specification.
Where a flat roof replacement needs to meet current building regulations for thermal performance, particularly relevant for habitable room extensions in Bromley, a warm roof system with insulation above the structural deck is the correct approach. Hills Roofing Ltd installs warm roof build-ups in Bauder and equivalent systems, achieving the required u-values under Part L with a fully waterproofed finish and manufacturer's guarantee.
For garage roofs and outbuildings where budget is the primary constraint, high-performance SBS torch-on felt and liquid plastic (Sealoflex) systems provide cost-effective flat roof solutions. We specify and install these systems correctly, on a sound, prepared deck with appropriate falls to drainage, and will not apply felt over a deteriorated or wet substrate.

Installation: The existing covering is stripped, the deck and structure inspected and repaired where needed, and the new system installed. The site is left clean each working day.
Written Guarantee: All new installations carry a written workmanship guarantee. Bauder system installations carry an additional manufacturer's product warranty.

We can advise on likely requirements during your free survey.
For most residential rear extensions in Bromley, GRP fibreglass is our recommended flat roof system, as it provides a seamless, long-lasting waterproof finish with a 25-year guarantee and very low maintenance.

We will advise on the correct specification after surveying your specific situation.
