Flat Roof Repair in Tenterden
Flat roofs on Tenterden extensions and garages take a different kind of wear to the tiled roofs above them, and need checking on their own terms.
Flat Roof Repair in Tenterden
Many houses in Tenterden have picked up a flat-roofed kitchen extension, utility room or garage at some point, often sitting below an older tiled or peg-tiled main roof. These flat sections see more standing water and more direct sun than a pitched roof, so felt and older asphalt coverings tend to show their age first.
Because we're based in the town, a flat roof repair here is usually easy to fit in quickly, whether it's a small split in the felt over a garage in Leigh Green or a bigger recovering job on an extension near St Michaels.
Flat-roofed additions in Tenterden are common on both older cottages and newer infill housing, typically built as rear extensions, garages or utility rooms using felt, asphalt or, more recently, single-ply membranes.
Local knowledge
What we see on flat roofs in Tenterden
01
Felt splitting at joints
Older felt roofs on extensions often split first at joints and upstands, where movement in the timber deck underneath puts the most strain on the covering.
02
Ponding on low-pitch garages
Garage roofs built with very little fall can hold standing water after rain, which shortens the life of whatever covering is on them.
03
Perished flashing at wall junctions
Where a flat roof meets an older brick or weatherboarded wall, the flashing can perish well before the main covering does.

From the trade
Questions from Tenterden homeowners
Do you repair small areas of flat roof or only full recoverings?
Both. A localised split can often be patched, while a roof that's failing more generally is usually better recovered properly.
What materials do you use for flat roof repairs?
It depends on the existing roof and what's practical, which we'll talk through once we've seen it, whether that's felt, asphalt or a single-ply membrane.
Can you look at a garage roof quickly since you're local?
Yes, being based in Tenterden means these are usually straightforward to fit in. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we'll come back to you as soon as we can.
