We understand how important a secure, weatherproof roof is to every property, which is why we approach every repair, replacement and flat roofing project with care, honesty and attention to detail.
Our commitment is simple:
To provide reliable roofing solutions, clear advice and quality workmanship that help keep local properties dry, safe and protected for years to come.
A repair may be suitable where damage is localised and the remainder of the flat roof is still in a reasonable condition.
Repair work may involve addressing:
• Cracks or splits
• Damaged surface areas
• Loose edge details
• Problems around outlets
• Defects around roof junctions
• Localised water penetration
• Damage caused by movement or poor weather
The roof should be inspected before deciding whether a repair can provide a dependable result.
Replacement may be recommended when:
• The roof is leaking in several areas
• The covering has deteriorated extensively
• The roof deck is damaged or soft
• Water is regularly collecting on the surface
• Previous repairs are failing
• The roof has reached the end of its practical service life
• Edge and drainage details require substantial work
The existing covering may need to be removed so the condition of the roof deck can be assessed.
Flat Roofs on Extensions
Extensions frequently use flat or low-pitched roofing systems.
When replacing an extension roof, consideration should be given to:
• The junction with the main property
• Drainage
• Insulation
• Roof edges
• Existing rooflights where present
• The internal use of the room
• Access for completing the work
Garage Flat Roofs
Garage flat roofs can deteriorate due to age, standing water, movement or previous temporary repairs.
We can assess the roof covering and advise whether a local repair or complete replacement is appropriate.
Dormer Flat Roofs
Dormer roofs contain several important junctions and edge details.
Leaks may be caused by the flat roof covering itself or by defects where the dormer joins the surrounding pitched roof.
The full surrounding area should be considered during the inspection.
A flat roof is a complete system rather than simply a waterproof surface.
Important elements include:
• The supporting roof structure
• The condition of the roof deck
• Appropriate falls
• Effective drainage
• Edge details
• Junctions with walls and pitched roofs
• Outlets and gutters
• Insulation where applicable
• Ventilation where required
• A suitable waterproof covering
The proposed specification should take all relevant elements into account.
Standing Water on a Flat Roof
Water that remains on the roof may indicate inadequate falls, restricted drainage, movement within the roof structure or deterioration of the roof deck.
The cause should be assessed before the roof is repaired or replaced.

Often, yes. The suitability of a repair depends on the location of the defect and the condition of the surrounding roof.
Possible causes include inadequate falls, blocked drainage, movement or deterioration of the supporting deck.
That depends on its condition and the proposed specification. Removal may be needed to inspect or replace damaged materials beneath the covering.
The expected lifespan depends on the roofing system, quality of installation, roof construction, drainage, exposure and maintenance. Product-specific information should be provided with the quotation.
