Flat roof repairs in Kent
Most flat roofs we see were covered in felt decades ago and have simply worn out. Cracks, blisters, splits at the edges and water sitting in puddles are all signs a flat roof is near the end.
Sometimes a repair will do. Often the honest answer is a new roof, stripped back to the deck, with any rotten boards replaced and a modern covering laid with proper edges and upstands.
Across Kent, flat roofs are most common on garages, single-storey extensions, porches, dormers and balconies, particularly on homes built from the 1960s onwards. Where a flat roof meets a wall or a pitched roof, the junction is often where water gets in.
Local knowledge
Flat roof warning signs
01
Ponding water
Puddles that stay after rain mean the deck has sagged or the falls are wrong. Over time they wear the covering out.
02
Soft spots underfoot
A spongy deck means water has reached the timber. The boards need replacing before a new roof goes on.
03
Damp at wall junctions
Leaks often come from failed upstands and flashings where the roof meets the house, not the middle of the roof.

Common questions
Can my flat roof be repaired or does it need replacing?
A small split on an otherwise sound roof can be repaired. Widespread cracking, ponding or a soft deck usually means replacement.
Do you check the timber underneath?
Yes. We check the deck when the old covering comes off and replace damaged boards.
Can you send a quote from photos?
Photos help us give you an idea. We'll usually want to see the roof before giving a final price.
