What Does Your Flat Roof Need?
A local repair may be sensible for one isolated fault. Repeated leaks, widespread wear or a damaged deck may point towards replacement. The roof still needs to be checked before either route is confirmed.

Flat roof repairs and replacement systems
A reliable flat roof needs a sound deck, enough fall for rainwater and careful seals at every edge and wall. We assess the full build-up before recommending a repair or replacement.

Signs Your Flat Roof Needs Repair
You do not need to know the roofing term. Start with the sign you can see and tell us when it appeared.
Standing Water on the Flat Roof
Standing water remaining after rain can place extra stress on the waterproof covering and roof details.
Cracks or Splits in the Covering
An open split in felt or another waterproof covering can let water reach the timber deck below.
Lifting Flat-Roof Edges
Loose edge trims or lifted waterproof covering edges can allow wind-driven rain beneath the covering.
Blistering or Bubbling
Raised blisters can show trapped moisture or separation between layers of the roof covering.
Internal Damp Below a Flat Roof
Ceiling water marks may come from failed seams, outlets, roof edges or raised edges where the roof meets a wall.

What We Check Before Repairing a Flat Roof
We check the part that looks damaged and the nearby roof details that may be causing or worsening the problem.
01Timber Deck Condition
Plywood, OSB or other supporting decking must be sound, dry enough and suitable for the recommended flat-roof system.
02Outlets and Rainwater Drainage
We check whether water can follow the roof fall and leave through the outlet without persistent standing water.
03Raised Wall Edges and Outer Edges
Raised wall details, kerbs and edge trims are common places for water to enter.
04Seams and Building Joins
Waterproof covering laps and joints with walls, pitched roofs and roof openings need close inspection.
Compare the main options
Flat Roofing Systems We Can Assess
No covering is automatically right for every roof. Size, deck condition, drainage, insulation, openings, access and the way the roof joins the building all affect the choice.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
A flexible single-ply membrane that can suit many domestic extensions, garages and simple roof shapes. Edges, outlets and joins still need careful detailing.
Explore this system →GRP Fibreglass Roofing
A rigid seamless finish formed over a stable prepared deck. Roof shape, movement, weather and installation conditions all matter.
Explore this system →Built-Up Felt Roofing
A layered bitumen system that can suit domestic and commercial flat roofs. Deck preparation, overlaps, edges and fire controls are important.
Explore this system →Warm Flat Roofs
Insulation is positioned above the roof deck as part of the build-up. Height, wall joins, drainage and ventilation details need to be assessed.
Explore this system →Repair or replace?
When a Repair May Be Enough
- The fault is limited to one accessible area
- The surrounding covering remains sound
- The deck below is dry and stable
- The leak source can be identified and detailed reliably

Extension and Dormer Flat Roofs
Extensions and dormers create important joins with pitched roofs, walls, windows and gutters. Their coverings, raised wall edges, edge trims and drainage must be considered as one weatherproof detail.
- Roof-to-wall raised edges
- Dormer cheek and window joins
- Edge trims and eaves
- Safe rainwater discharge
Flat-Roof Drainage and Waterproofing
A waterproof covering needs suitable falls and clear outlets. We check standing water, low spots, outlet seals, gutters and overflows before recommending a covering repair or replacement.
- Designed falls towards drainage
- Clear outlets and overflows
- Watertight raised wall edges and openings
- Sound suitable roof deck

Flat roofing FAQs
Flat Roofing Questions and Answers
These answers explain common questions before you request a quote.
Can you see a roofing problem?● Send us a photo
Can a leaking flat roof be repaired?+
A local repair may be suitable when the damage is limited and the surrounding waterproof covering and deck remain sound. Repeated leaks or widespread wear may make replacement more practical.
Which flat-roof material is best?+
The right option depends on roof size, deck condition, falls, outlets, details and budget. Felt, EPDM and GRP each have suitable uses.
Is standing water always a problem?+
It does not always mean the roof is leaking, but long-lasting standing water can place extra stress on seams, outlets and the covering. The cause should be checked.
What causes flat roofs to leak?+
Common causes include open seams, splits, failed raised edges where the roof meets a wall, damaged edge trims, blocked outlets and problems around rooflights or pipe openings.
Do you replace the timber roof deck?+
Damaged or wet deck sections may need replaced before a new waterproof system is installed. The condition is checked when the covering is opened up.
Can EPDM, felt or GRP be fitted over an existing roof?+
Sometimes an overlay may be possible, but only when the existing roof layers are dry, stable and suitable. Covering over trapped moisture can create further problems.
How long should a flat roof last?+
Service life varies with the system, preparation, workmanship, exposure, drainage and maintenance. The complete installation matters more than the material name alone.
