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.

Signs Your Flat Roof May Need Attention

Contact GD Home Improvements if you notice:

  • Water entering the building
  • Damp patches on ceilings
  • Cracking or splitting in the roof covering
  • Areas where water regularly collects
  • Loose or damaged edges
  • Visible deterioration
  • Damage following strong winds or bad weather
  • Repeated leaks from the same roof

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.

Why is water pooling on my flat roof?

Pooling water can be caused by inadequate falls, drainage problems or changes in the roof surface. The roof should be assessed to determine the cause.

Do you replace old felt flat roofs?

Customers with ageing or damaged flat roofs can contact GD Home Improvements to discuss repair or replacement options.

Can you install a flat roof on a garage or extension?

Yes. Flat roofs are commonly used on extensions, garages, porches and dormers.

How quickly should I repair a leaking flat roof?

Does every leaking flat roof need replacing?

No. The correct solution depends on the cause of the leak and the overall condition of the roof.
