Flat Roof Repairs

A flat-roof leak does not always mean the whole roof needs replacing. Mr Flat Roof checks the covering and its vulnerable details to identify whether a focused repair is the sensible route.

Is it right for your roof?

Where this service can make sense.

Every flat roof needs to be assessed on its own condition, construction and details. These are common situations where this service may be considered.

  • Leaks and local water ingress
  • Split or lifted felt
  • Failed seams and laps
  • Damaged edges and upstands
  • Problems around outlets or penetrations
  • Localised storm or wear damage

The working process

From first inspection to finished roof.

The exact method depends on the existing roof, but the work follows a clear sequence focused on preparation and waterproof detailing.

  1. 01

    Trace the likely entry point

    The visible leak and the roof above it are considered together, including seams, edges and penetrations.

  2. 02

    Check the wider condition

    The surrounding covering and deck are examined so a small patch is not used where wider failure is present.

  3. 03

    Prepare the repair area

    Loose, wet or failed material is addressed and the area is prepared for the selected repair method.

  4. 04

    Complete and review

    The repaired detail is sealed and the nearby roof is checked for other obvious vulnerabilities.
