Spotted one of these? We’ll trace it and stop it
A flat roof leak rarely shows where the water actually gets in, it tracks along the felt and timbers before it drips inside. Find your symptom below, then call us and a real roofer will trace it to the source and put it right.
Water coming through roof felt
The felt has split, blistered or perished and rain is getting straight through it.
We trace the failure, then patch, re-bond or re-felt the area and water-test it.
Flat roof leaking through ceiling
A damp patch or active drip is showing on the ceiling in the room below.
We find where the water gets in, not just where it drips, and seal it properly.
A leaking felt roof
An older felt roof is letting water in at the laps, upstands or around detail.
A leaking felt roof repair on the first visit, with honest advice if it needs more.
Flat roof leaking where it joins the house
Water comes in where the flat roof meets a wall or the main house.
We renew the failed flashing or upstand at the join and make it watertight.
Flat roof leaking around vent pipe
Water is tracking in around a soil vent, flue or pipe through the roof.
We re-seal or renew the collar around the vent pipe and stop the leak at source.
Leaking flat roof from inside
You can see daylight, damp timber or dripping water from inside the loft.
We trace it from both sides, find the entry point and carry out a lasting repair.
Don’t let the leak spread
A small leak today is a rotten deck tomorrow
Water tracks further into the felt and timber every time it rains. Tell us the symptom and we’ll trace it and stop it at the source.
The right approach
We trace the leak to its source, then fix it
A leaking flat roof from inside rarely shows where the water gets in, it tracks along the felt and timbers before it drips. We find the actual entry point first, then carry out a lasting repair, instead of chasing the damp from one patch to the next.
We check the whole roof, the felt, the upstands, the flashing where it joins the house and the seals around any vent pipes, because the leak is often nowhere near the wet patch on your ceiling. Most leaks are traced and repaired on the first visit. Where the covering has reached the end of its life, we’ll tell you honestly and quote before any bigger work starts.
As Icopal-approved contractors, every repair is carried out to the same standard as a full installation. Photo records are taken before, during and after, ideal if you need to make an insurance claim.
