BC Roofing & Building provides professional flat roof repairs, replacements and new flat roofing across Chippenham and the surrounding Wiltshire area. From leaking garage roofs and ageing felt coverings to flat roofs on extensions and dormers, we provide straightforward advice, quality workmanship and a clear quote before work begins.
BC Roofing & Building repairs and replaces flat roofs across Chippenham and surrounding Wiltshire. We work on flat roofs covering garages, extensions, dormers, porches, outbuildings and other areas of the property.
If your flat roof is leaking, holding water, cracking, blistering or simply reaching the end of its useful life, we can inspect the problem and advise whether a repair or full replacement is likely to be the most sensible option. For pitched roofs, see our roof repairs in Chippenham page.
Flat roofs can develop several different problems as they age or after prolonged exposure to bad weather. Identifying the cause early can help prevent water reaching the decking, insulation and rooms below.
Leaking Flat Roofs
Water entering through damaged coverings, edges, joints or flashing can quickly cause damp and staining inside the property.
Ponding Water
Standing water that remains on the roof after rain can indicate drainage or roof-fall problems and may increase wear over time.
Split or Cracked Roof Coverings
Older flat roofing materials can eventually crack, split or become brittle.
Bubbling or Blistering
Raised areas in the covering can sometimes indicate trapped air, moisture or deterioration beneath the surface.
Damaged Roof Edges
Problems around trims, flashing and roof edges can allow water to penetrate underneath the roof covering.
Ageing Felt Roofing
Older felt roofs can become brittle, worn or develop recurring leaks.
Storm Damage
Strong winds, heavy rainfall and falling debris can damage sections of otherwise serviceable flat roofs.
Damaged Roof Decking
If water has been entering the roof for some time, the boards beneath the covering may also require attention.

Flat Roof Repairs, Replacement & Installation
Practical flat roofing work on garages, extensions, dormers, porches and outbuildings across Chippenham and Wiltshire.
01
Flat Roof Repairs
Not every leaking flat roof requires a complete replacement. Where the problem is localised, BC Roofing & Building can inspect the damaged area, identify the likely cause and carry out an appropriate repair.
We will explain what has caused the problem and whether repairing the existing roof is likely to provide a sensible long-term solution.
Where a flat roof is extensively worn, repeatedly leaking or deteriorating across a large area, replacement may be more practical than continuing with temporary repairs.
BC Roofing & Building can remove worn roofing materials, assess the underlying roof and install a suitable replacement covering with careful attention to drainage, edges and weatherproofing.
Felt roofing is commonly found on garages, extensions, dormers and outbuildings.
BC Roofing & Building can inspect existing felt roofs, repair damaged areas and replace worn coverings where required.
04
Garage Flat Roofs
Garage roofs are particularly exposed to standing water, weathering and ageing materials.
We repair and replace garage flat roofs throughout Chippenham and surrounding areas, whether the problem is a localised leak or more extensive deterioration.
05
Extension Flat Roofs
Flat roofs are commonly used on rear and side extensions.
We can help with repairs, refurbishment and replacement where an extension roof is leaking or approaching the end of its useful life.
06
Dormer Flat Roofs
Dormer roofs contain several junctions and edges where effective weatherproofing is especially important.
We can inspect and repair flat dormer roofs and surrounding flashing where water is finding its way into the property.

Most flat roof problems show themselves inside the property before the covering fails completely.
A small leak does not automatically mean the whole flat roof needs replacing. An inspection can usually establish whether the problem is isolated or part of wider deterioration. If the covering above a pitched section is also worn, our roof felt and batten replacement page explains that work.
A practical guide to the situations where a repair usually makes sense and where replacement tends to be the better option.
Problem
Repair may make sense when…
Replacement may make sense when…
Small isolated leak
Damage is limited to one identifiable area and the rest of the roof remains in good condition.
Leaks are appearing in several different places.
Split or damaged covering
The damaged section is small and the surrounding roofing material remains sound.
The covering is deteriorating across most of the roof.
Older felt roof
The roof is generally stable and the problem is confined to one area.
The felt is brittle, blistered or repeatedly failing.
Ponding water
A small localised drainage issue can be corrected.
The roof construction, falls or underlying structure require more extensive attention.
Damaged decking
Damage is confined to a small section.
Water has affected larger areas beneath the covering.

Homeowner Advice
What Should You Do If Your Flat Roof Starts Leaking?
Sensible first steps while you arrange for the roof to be looked at.
1
Move valuables away from the affected area
Protect furniture, electronics and other possessions from water.
2
Catch dripping water where safe
Place a container beneath the affected area if water is actively dripping.
3
Do not climb onto the roof yourself
Wet flat roofs can be extremely slippery and unsafe.
4
Photograph visible damage
Take photographs of damp patches, staining or active leaks.
5
Photograph the exterior from ground level
If possible, take photographs of the roof without climbing onto it.
6
Arrange a professional inspection
A roofer can identify the actual source of the leak.
7
Fix the cause before redecorating
Internal water damage can return if the roofing issue has not been addressed.
Answers to the questions we are asked most often about flat roofing in Chippenham.
Do you repair flat roofs in Chippenham?
Yes. BC Roofing & Building carries out flat roof repairs in Chippenham and surrounding areas. We can inspect leaks, damaged coverings and other common flat roofing problems before recommending the appropriate work.
Can you repair a leaking flat roof?
Many flat roof leaks can be repaired if the damage is isolated and the rest of the roof remains in reasonable condition. More widespread deterioration may make replacement more practical.
Do you replace old flat roofs?
Yes. Where an existing flat roof is badly worn, repeatedly leaking or extensively damaged, we can assess the roof and discuss replacement options.
Do you work on garage flat roofs?
Yes. Garage flat roof repairs and replacements are part of the flat roofing services provided by BC Roofing & Building.
Do you work on flat roofs on extensions?
Yes. We can inspect and repair flat roofs on extensions as well as discuss replacement where the existing covering has deteriorated.
Can an old felt flat roof be repaired?
It depends on the condition of the felt. Localised damage may be repairable, while brittle or extensively deteriorated felt may be better replaced.
How do I know whether my flat roof needs replacing?
Repeated leaks, widespread cracking, blistering, extensive deterioration or damage beneath the roof covering can indicate that replacement may be more appropriate than another repair.
Why is water pooling on my flat roof?
Standing water can result from drainage problems, blocked outlets or inadequate roof falls. The cause should be inspected before deciding what work is required.
Can you inspect a flat roof before quoting?
Yes. The roof can be assessed so that the cause of the problem and the required work can be understood before a quote is provided.
