Is it time?

Signs your flat roof needs replacing

A flat roof doesn't last forever. Once the covering has had its day, patching just buys a few months. These are the tell-tale signs it's cheaper to replace than keep repairing.

Cracked, blistered or bubbling felt

Splits and blisters mean the covering has gone brittle with age. Water's already getting in, or about to.

Water ponding that never drains

Standing water after every shower means the falls have failed. Ponding shortens the life of any covering fast.

Patched again and again

If you're calling someone out every year, the covering is past it. New patches just move the leak along.

15–20 years old and tired

Old felt roofs reach the end of their life. Replacing before it fails saves the ceilings and insulation below.

We'll tell you honestly. If a repair will do, we'll say so.

Replaced properly, not patched over

We strip it back and rebuild, the right way

A proper replacement isn't a new layer slapped over the old one. We strip the failed covering off, check the deck and replace anything soft, upgrade the insulation where it makes sense, and lay a new seamless membrane with the falls set to drain properly.

You end up with a roof that's watertight from the deck up, not a temporary fix that traps damp underneath and fails again in a year.

  • Insulation upgraded - warmer rooms, no condensation
  • New falls set so water drains, no more ponding
  • Seamless new membrane, water-tested on completion

Questions

Flat roof replacement, answered

If the covering is sound and it's a one-off leak, a repair is usually the sensible choice. If the felt is cracking across the whole roof, water is ponding, or you're patching it every year, replacement works out cheaper over time. On your free survey we'll give you an honest verdict either way — we won't push a replacement you don't need.
It depends on the system and how it was fitted. Older felt roofs typically last 15–20 years; a modern EPDM or GRP roof, fitted properly with the right falls, will comfortably do 30 years or more. If yours is around the 20-year mark and giving trouble, it's worth getting it looked at.
Most domestic flat roofs are stripped and re-covered in one to three days, depending on size and the state of the deck. We keep the site tidy, clear away the old covering and leave things as we found them — you won't know we were there except for the roof.
It varies with the size, the system and how much of the deck needs attention — so we don't quote blind. The survey is free and there's no obligation: we measure up, recommend the right covering and give you a fixed written quote so you know exactly where you stand before deciding.
