Flat Roof Leaking?
A leaking flat roof needs attention quickly — water causes damage to ceilings, walls, insulation and electrics fast. Water travels sideways once inside a roof build-up, so the wet patch on your ceiling is rarely directly below the actual source of the leak.
Common Causes of Flat Roof Leaks
- Failed or lifted flashing around roof lanterns or parapet walls
- Splits or cracks in the membrane at upstands and corners
- Blocked or failed drainage outlets causing ponding water
- Felt blistering, cracking or delaminating
- Failed sealant around penetrations — pipes, cables, vents
- Storm damage — lifted membrane or damaged trims
Our Repair Process
Diagnostic survey — no call-out charge
We visit and carry out a thorough investigation of all usual failure points. Written report and quotation provided.
Repair works
We carry out the repair using the correct materials. For EPDM roofs we use compatible EPDM materials and manufacturer-approved adhesives.
Post-repair inspection
We inspect the rest of the roof to identify any other areas at risk of failure.
Repair or replace? We will give you an honest assessment. If the repair cost approaches replacement cost we will tell you — a new EPDM roof with a 30-year warranty is often the better investment.
