In Swindon, flat roofs are common and practical; they can be found on older homes, garages, commercial buildings, and extensions. However, they do need care. A flat roof that is beginning to fail will exhibit issues rapidly without the natural drainage of a pitched roof; if it is neglected, what begins as a small repair may eventually become a complete replacement.
Our speciality is fixing flat roofs in Swindon and the neighbouring areas. We'll properly inspect your roof, whether it's blistering felt, an EPDM membrane that's lifted, or a cracked GRP surface, and provide you with an honest assessment of whether a repair will suffice or if more is required.
In Swindon, we estimate that
73% of roof repairs end up costing more than expected due to additional damage because the repair wasn't addressed soon enough.
Our Most Popular Flat Roof Repairs in Swindon
Blistering and Bubbling
One of the most prevalent problems with roofs. When moisture becomes trapped beneath the outer layer and expands with heat, blisters are created. Eventually, if left untreated, they split and allow water to enter. We remove the impacted area and properly reseal.
Ponding Water
Water that collects on a flat roof instead of evaporating accelerates deterioration and puts continuous pressure on the surface. We fix drainage problems and fix any surface damage brought on by standing water.
Flashing Failures
One of the most common places for leaks to occur is around the flashing of a flat roof, where it meets a wall, parapet, or upstand. To restore a waterproof seal, we fix or replace lead and code flashings.
GRP Fibreglass Repair
Although GRP roofs are strong, they may fracture at stress points or in areas where the surface coat has deteriorated. We perform fibreglass repairs that preserve the surface's integrity without requiring a complete replacement.
Splits and Cracks
Over time, thermal movement, UV rays, and aging can cause felt and GRP surfaces to crack. Since a split roof invites water, we fix and strengthen the impacted area to reestablish the waterproof layer.
Lifted or Peeling Membrane
Over time, especially in areas where adhesion has failed, EPDM rubber membranes may lift at the edges or seams. Before the issue worsens, we re-bond and re-seal lifted sections.
Leaks Around Outlets and Drains
On flat roofs, the regions surrounding drainage outlets are frequently weak points. To prevent water from returning beneath the surface, we repair and reseal the areas surrounding outlets.
How We Handle Flat Roof Repairs in Swindon
Roof Assessment
We examine the entire flat roof, not just the areas that are clearly problematic. Before making any recommendations, we make sure we have a complete image because flat roofs might leak in one area and indicate damage in another.
Honest Advice
We'll let you know if a repair will extend your roof's lifespan by a few years. We'll let you know if the roof is at a stage where repairs will become an ongoing expense and a replacement makes more financial sense, without putting any pressure on you either way.
The Repair
We work with flat roof systems made of felt, EPDM, and GRP. The majority of repairs may be finished in a single visit, and we have supplies on the van to quickly do the most frequent tasks.
Check and Sign Off
We make sure the repaired area is completely waterproof and remove any dirt from the roof's surface before we go. We'll go over what was done with you and point out anything else that needs attention.
