Flat Roof Repair in Cranbrook
Flat roofs tucked behind Cranbrook's weatherboarded frontages often need more attention than the tiled roofs they sit alongside.
Flat Roof Repair in Cranbrook
Rear extensions and garden outbuildings in Cranbrook frequently carry a flat roof finished in felt, even where the main house is tile-hung or weatherboarded. Given the age of many properties in the town, these flat sections are often original and have had little attention beyond the odd patch.
Oast house conversions nearby sometimes have flat-roofed link extensions joining the roundels to a more conventional part of the building, and these junctions are a common spot for slow leaks to develop.
Cranbrook's housing stock includes weatherboarded cottages and timber-framed houses with flat-roofed rear additions, alongside oast house conversions where flat sections often link the converted roundels to other parts of the building.
Local knowledge
What we commonly find on flat roofs here
01
Aged felt on cottage extensions
Many rear extensions on older cottages still carry their original felt, which can be brittle and prone to cracking by now.
02
Oast link roof junctions
Where a flat roof joins an oast roundel or a weatherboarded wall, the flashing detail needs particular care to stop water tracking inward.
03
Outbuilding roofs in gardens
Garden outbuildings and workshops around Cranbrook often have simple flat roofs that get overlooked until they start to leak visibly.
