Flat Roof Repairs
Flat roofs can develop problems over time as materials age and weather conditions take their toll. Common flat roof problems can include:
- Water leaks
- Cracked or damaged roofing material
- Worn or deteriorated roof coverings
- Standing or pooling water
- Problems around roof edges
- Damage around outlets and drainage points
- Weather damage
- Previous repairs beginning to fail
If you notice water entering the property or visible damage to a flat roof, it is best to have the problem investigated before it causes further damage.
New Flat Roofs
GD Home Improvements can also help with new flat roofing for extensions, garages, porches, dormers, outbuildings and other suitable residential structures. A properly installed flat roof should be designed with appropriate falls, drainage and edge detailing so rainwater can move away effectively.
Replacement Flat Roofs
Older flat roofs can eventually reach the point where repeated repairs are no longer the most practical solution. If the existing roof covering is badly worn or repeatedly leaking, we can assess the condition of the roof and discuss whether replacement would be more appropriate. The correct approach depends on the roof structure, its condition and the cause of the problem.
Leaking Flat Roofs
A leaking flat roof should be investigated as soon as reasonably possible. Water entering through a flat roof can affect ceilings, insulation, timber and interior finishes. The source of a leak is not always directly above where water appears inside the property, so the roof should be properly assessed before repair work is carried out.
Flat Roof Drainage
Good drainage is particularly important on a flat roof. Problems with falls, outlets or drainage can allow water to collect on the roof surface. When working on a flat roof, attention should be given to how water moves across the roof and away from the building — which also depends on the condition of the soffits, fascias and guttering around the property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a leaking flat roof be repaired?
Yes, depending on the condition of the roof and the cause of the leak. Some problems can be repaired locally, while older or badly deteriorated roofs may be better replaced.
