Our Professional Flat Roof Repair Process

Every successful repair begins with an accurate diagnosis. We do not believe in quick guesswork; instead, we use a comprehensive diagnostic approach to ensure your roof remains watertight for years to come.Initial Survey: We conduct a thorough physical or drone inspection to pinpoint the exact locations of water ingress, assessing issues like ponding (standing water) and alligatoring (surface cracking).Structural Assessment: We examine the integrity of your OSB3 decking and joists to ensure there is no hidden rot, interstitial condensation, or sagging beneath the surface.Targeted Repair: Depending on your existing system, we select the perfect compatible repair medium. Whether that means seamlessly patching an EPDM rubber membrane, applying a cold liquid repair, or re-sealing bitumen torch-on felt, we restore your roof to peak condition.We handle everything in-house from start to finish. You will never deal with sub-contractors, ensuring the same expert team that quotes your job is the one completing it.

We ensure all warm roof conversions and major repairs meet these strict guidelines seamlessly.

Can you patch a leaking flat roof or does it need a full replacement?

In many cases, a high-quality patch repair is perfectly fine, especially if the rest of the roof is in good condition. We only recommend a full replacement if the underlying timber is rotten or if the material has reached the end of its natural lifespan. We will always give you an honest appraisal after our inspection.

How long will a flat roof repair last?

A professional repair using modern materials like EPDM or GRP can last for many years. While a temporary patch might buy you time, our permanent repairs are designed to hold up against the British weather for a decade or more. We provide 10 to 15-year guarantees on larger projects.

What is the best material for a flat roof repair in Kent?

It depends on your budget and the type of roof. EPDM rubber is fantastic for its flexibility and long life. GRP fibreglass is incredibly tough and has no seams, making it a popular choice for extensions. Traditional torch-on felt is still a very cost-effective and reliable option when installed by experts. We can discuss which one fits your home best.
