Garage Roofs in Kent
Garage roofs are easy to forget about until the felt splits and the car gets wet.
Garage Roofs in Kent
Most garages in Kent have a flat roof covered in felt that was never meant to last indefinitely, and plenty are now past their best: cracked, blistered, or holding water after rain. A few have a pitched tiled roof instead, which brings its own issues with slipped tiles and failing ridges.
We repair garage roofs where the covering still has life left, and strip and replace them where it doesn't, checking the deck or timber underneath for rot before anything new goes on. It's often a smaller job than a house roof, but a leaking garage roof can still damage stored contents or an integral garage's ceiling below.
Garages across the Weald range from older brick outbuildings with felt flat roofs to attached garages built alongside post-war and modern houses, plus the occasional pitched tile or slate garage roof matching an older farmhouse. Integral garages under a bedroom or hallway are particularly worth catching early, since a leak there can reach living space.
Local knowledge
Garage roof issues we see
01
Perished felt coverings
Cracking, blistering and ponding water are all signs a felt roof has reached the end of its working life.
02
Rotten decking underneath
Once water gets through the covering, the timber deck beneath often needs replacing before a new covering is laid.
03
Leaks into integral garages
Where a garage sits under part of the house, a leak can reach the room above, so these get treated with more urgency.

From the trade
Common questions
Can a garage roof be repaired instead of replaced?
If the covering is sound apart from a localised split, a repair is usually fine. Widespread cracking or ponding points to replacement.
Do you check the roof deck when replacing a garage roof?
Yes, we check the timber underneath once the old covering is off and replace any that's rotten before the new roof goes on.
Is a leaking garage roof urgent?
It depends what's underneath. An integral garage under living space is worth treating as a priority.
