Stop a leaking flat roof getting worse

Flat roofs hold water, so small faults let in a lot. These are the usual causes.

  • Splits and blisters

    Old felt cracks in the cold and wind. Water gets in and spreads below.

  • Ponding water

    Puddles that stay for days mean the roof is not draining. They wear out the surface.

  • Failed edges and joins

    Water often enters at the edges, round rooflights and where the roof meets the wall.

GRP or rubber for your new flat roof?

Both are modern flat roofing that last longer than old felt. We help you pick.

GRP fibreglass

Hard, seamless and tidy on small roofs. A good fit for extensions, porches and garages.

EPDM rubber

A single sheet of rubber. Works well on larger roofs and is quick to lay.

Repair or replace?

A small split can be repaired. If the roof is soaked through or sagging, we recommend replacing it.

Can a leaking flat roof be repaired?

Often yes, if the damage is small and the boards below are dry. If the roof is soaked or the surface is failing everywhere, replacing it is better value.

How long does a new flat roof last?

It depends on the covering, the fit and the upkeep, so we cannot promise a figure. We explain the materials and ask you to check any written guarantee terms.

How long does a flat roof take to fit?

A small roof such as a porch or garage can be quick, while larger ones take longer. Weather matters, as the surface must go on dry. We discuss timing in the quote.

What if the boards underneath are rotten?

We show you and explain the options. Wet or rotten boards are replaced before the new covering goes on, as a new roof on bad boards would fail.

Do I need scaffolding for a flat roof?

Low roofs can often be reached with ladders or a tower. Roofs on higher walls need scaffold. Your quote says what is included.

Can I send a photo from the ground?

Yes, if you can see the roof safely from the ground or a window. Send it with your postcode. Please never climb onto a flat roof to take one.
