Common Problems

Flat Roof Problems We Can Help With

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.

Our Flat Roofing Services

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.

02

Flat Roof Replacement

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.

Dormer Flat Roofs

Dormer roofs contain several junctions and edges where effective weatherproofing is especially important.

Warning Signs

Signs Your Flat Roof May Need Repair

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.

Watch out for
  • Water stains appearing on ceilings or walls
  • Dripping after heavy rain
  • Water remaining on the roof
  • Visible splits or cracks
  • Bubbling or blistering
  • Loose or damaged roof edges
  • Repeated leaks in the same area
  • Soft or deteriorated roof decking
  • Brittle or visibly worn roofing material
Repair or Replace?

Should You Repair or Replace a Flat Roof?

A practical guide to the situations where a repair usually makes sense and where replacement tends to be the better option.

Repair may make sense when…

Damage is limited to one identifiable area and the rest of the roof remains in good condition.

Replacement may make sense when…

Leaks are appearing in several different places.

Split or damaged covering
Repair may make sense when…

The damaged section is small and the surrounding roofing material remains sound.

Replacement may make sense when…

The covering is deteriorating across most of the roof.

Older felt roof
Repair may make sense when…

The roof is generally stable and the problem is confined to one area.

Replacement may make sense when…

The felt is brittle, blistered or repeatedly failing.

Ponding water
Repair may make sense when…

A small localised drainage issue can be corrected.

Replacement may make sense when…

The roof construction, falls or underlying structure require more extensive attention.

Damaged decking
Repair may make sense when…

Damage is confined to a small section.

Replacement may make sense when…

Water has affected larger areas beneath the covering.

Every flat roof is different. BC Roofing & Building will inspect the condition of the roof before recommending whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

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. 1

    Move valuables away from the affected area

    Protect furniture, electronics and other possessions from water.

  2. 2

    Catch dripping water where safe

    Place a container beneath the affected area if water is actively dripping.

  3. 3

    Do not climb onto the roof yourself

    Wet flat roofs can be extremely slippery and unsafe.

  4. 4

    Photograph visible damage

    Take photographs of damp patches, staining or active leaks.

  5. 5

    Photograph the exterior from ground level

    If possible, take photographs of the roof without climbing onto it.

  6. 6

    Arrange a professional inspection

    A roofer can identify the actual source of the leak.

  7. 7

    Fix the cause before redecorating

    Internal water damage can return if the roofing issue has not been addressed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Flat Roofs Chippenham FAQs

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 work on flat roofs on extensions?

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.

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.
