    Overview

    What it is, who it's for,
    and when it's needed.

    What it is
    Localised repair work to flat roof systems — patching splits and blisters in felt, repairing seams and upstands in EPDM, sealing crack lines in GRP, renewing failed edge trims and flashings.
    Who it's for
    Anyone with a flat roof that's leaking, blistering, splitting or showing its age — but not yet ready for full replacement.
    When you need it
    When you see internal staining, blistering on the surface, splits at flashings, lifted edges, or after storm damage that's left visible faults.
    Why it matters
    Many flat roofs have years of life left in them if the actual fault is fixed properly. A targeted repair is often the right call — but only when the diagnosis is right.

    Don't Wait

    What it costs to leave it.

    Most flat roof repairs that 'don't last' weren't really repairs — they were sealant slapped over the symptom, with the actual fault left untouched.

    Risks of ignoring it

    • Untreated blisters spread until the bond fails across a wider area.
    • A small split lets water saturate insulation and deck, ruining far more than the surface.
    • Failed flashings at upstands let water track horizontally — the leak appears metres from the actual fault.
    • Repeated sealant patching makes a future full replacement messier and more expensive.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • Smearing roof sealant over the symptom without finding the actual leak point.
    • Using the wrong patch material on the wrong system (EPDM glue on felt, etc).
    • Ignoring ponding water — it's not the leak now, but it will be the cause of the next one.
    • Calling out a generalist instead of someone who works on flat roofs every week.

    Our Process

    A clear, honest path
    from quote to guarantee.

    1. 1

      Inspection

      Get on the roof, find the actual leak point — not just where the water shows up inside.

    2. 2

      Quote

      Clear written quote stating exactly what's being repaired and the materials used.

    3. 3

      Prep & Clean

      Affected area cleaned back, primed where needed, surrounding surface checked for adjacent faults.

    4. 4

      Repair

      System-correct repair — EPDM patch and primer, GRP cloth and resin, or torch-on felt overlay as appropriate.

    5. 5

      Verify & Guarantee

      Visual and water test where practical, photos of the finished repair, written workmanship guarantee.

    Why It Pays

    Concrete benefits.
    No vague promises.

    • Right Diagnosis First

      We find the actual leak — not just where it shows up inside — so the repair lasts.

    • Matched Materials

      EPDM repaired with EPDM, GRP with GRP, felt with felt. No mixed-system bodge jobs.

    • Buys You Years

      A correct repair routinely adds 5–10 years to a flat roof that wasn't quite ready for replacement.

    • Fast Turnaround

      Most repair visits are completed in a single day, weather permitting.

    • Honest Advice

      If a repair won't last, we'll tell you — and quote a replacement so you can compare.

    • Guaranteed

      Every repair carries our written workmanship guarantee.

    Deeper Detail

    Materials, methods
    and the full picture.

    Everything below is what we'd want to know if it were our roof.

    What we typically repair

    Most flat roof repairs we attend fall into one of these categories — and almost all are fixable when caught early.

    • Splits and tears in old felt at upstands, abutments and seams
    • Blisters in felt and bituminous coatings
    • Lifted seams and failed glue bonds in EPDM
    • Crack lines and chopped strand mat exposure in GRP
    • Failed lead or felt flashings at upstands and around vents
    • Leaking outlet drains and edge trims

    How we diagnose the actual leak

    Water rarely enters where it shows up. We trace the route from the internal stain back up the deck, looking for upstands, flashings, splits and ponding evidence. In tricky cases we use water testing in controlled sections to confirm the actual entry point before committing to a fix.

    Repair vs replacement — when each makes sense

    If the bulk of the roof is sound and the failure is localised, a repair is usually the right call. If you're seeing widespread blistering, multiple splits, soft underfoot patches or visible deck damage, we'll quote a replacement honestly so you can weigh up cost over the next 5–10 years.
