Our flat roof repairs in Barrow provide practical solutions for leaking, damaged and deteriorating flat roofing on homes and commercial properties throughout Barrow-in-Furness.

Flat roofing is commonly used on extensions, garages, porches, dormers, outbuildings and commercial premises. Although modern systems can provide excellent performance, damage or deterioration can eventually allow water to penetrate the roof.

Flat Roof Repair Specialists

The first step in repairing a flat roof is establishing what has caused the problem.

Common issues include:

• Cracks and splits
• Failed seams or joints
• Damaged roof edges
• Deteriorated coverings
• Problems around outlets
• Defective flashing
• Ponding water
• Impact damage
• Previous poor-quality repairs
• Water ingress

Once the problem has been assessed, an appropriate repair can be recommended.

Leaking Flat Roof Repairs

Flat roof leaks can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint because water may travel beneath the roof covering before becoming visible internally.

Damp ceilings, staining, bubbling paintwork or moisture around the edge of an extension can all indicate a potential roofing problem.

Arranging an inspection promptly can help prevent further deterioration.

Different Types of Flat Roofing

We can assess a variety of flat roofing systems.

Depending upon the existing roof, repairs may involve traditional felt or modern materials such as EPDM rubber roofing and GRP fibreglass roofing.

The repair method needs to be appropriate for the material already installed.

Should I Repair or Replace My Flat Roof?

Repair is often appropriate when the problem is confined to a particular area and the remaining roof is in reasonable condition.

However, repeatedly patching an extensively deteriorated flat roof may not represent good value.

If replacement is more appropriate, we can discuss suitable modern flat roofing options.
