Blistered and split felt
Old felt blisters where water and air get trapped under it, and splits where it has gone brittle at the laps and around the edges. Patching felt with more felt buys a season. We cut out the failed area or strip the covering, check the deck underneath and replace it in EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass, so the repair outlasts the roof it is on.
Ponding water
Water that sits on a flat roof for days after rain finds every weak point. Ponding means the deck has sagged or the roof was laid without a fall. We lift the covering, replace soft boards, add firrings to put the fall back in and relay the covering so water runs to the gutter or outlet.
Failed upstands and edge trims
Most flat roof leaks are not in the middle of the roof. They are where the roof meets a wall, a rooflight or the edge trim, and the covering has pulled away or the flashing over it has failed. We redo the upstand in EPDM or GRP, refit the trim and dress new lead or a cover flashing over the top.
Repair or replace
If the deck is firm and the fault is local, a repair is the right answer and we price it as one. If the boards are soft across the roof, a repair will not hold, and we show you the photographs and quote a full replacement through our flat roofing service instead. Garages have their own page: garage roof replacement.
What is included
- Free roof inspection, no call-out charge
- Blisters and splits cut out and replaced
- Ponding fixed by restoring the fall
- Upstands and trims redone
- EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass
- Fixed written price before we start
How a flat roof repair is done
- Free inspection. We walk the roof, press for soft spots and check the trims, upstands and outlet.
- Photographs. You see the failed area and the state of the deck before any price is given.
- Cut out. The failed covering is cut back to sound material and the deck underneath checked.
- Make good. Soft boards replaced and the fall corrected where water has been sitting.
- Re-cover. The repaired area is covered in EPDM or GRP and sealed to the sound roof, or the upstand is redone.
Signs a flat roof repair is due
- Blisters or bubbles in the felt
- Splits at laps or around the edges
- A wet patch on the ceiling under one spot
- Water sitting in one corner
- The covering pulled away from the wall
- Moss growing in cracks
Repair or replacement
- Local repair: For a sound deck with one failure. Fast and the cheapest option.
- Upstand and trim repair: Most leaks are at the edges, and this fixes them without touching the main roof.
- Full replacement: When the deck is soft across the roof. See flat roofing.
How long it takes
Most flat roof repairs are done in a day. Replacing a section of soft deck adds a few hours.
What affects the price
- Size of the failed area
- Deck condition
- Edge trims and upstands
- Access
Typical ranges are on our flat roof cost page.
Aftercare
Clear leaves from the roof and outlet each autumn and look for water sitting after rain. Ponding is the early warning.

Common questions
Can a flat roof be repaired or does it need replacing?
If the deck underneath is firm and the fault is in one place, it can be repaired. If the boards are soft across the roof, it needs replacing. We check the deck and show you the photographs.
What do you repair flat roofs with?
EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass, depending on the roof. Both last far longer than another layer of felt.
Why does water sit on my flat roof?
The deck has sagged or the roof was laid without enough fall. We replace soft boards and add firrings so water runs off.
Is there a call-out charge?
No. The flat roof inspection is free and there is no call-out charge.
Can you repair a felt roof with rubber?
Yes, on a local repair the failed felt is cut out and the area made good. Where most of the felt has gone, a full EPDM covering is the better spend.
How long does a flat roof repair take?
Most are done in a day, including cutting out the failed area, making good the deck and re-covering it.
