If you suspect a flat roof at your property is damaged, leaking, worn or in need of any type of repair work, we can get a trade-accredited roofer with you quickly to get it fixed. Whether your flat roof is covered with felt, asphalt, lead, other metals, fiberglass, EPDM or single ply membranes, we’ve got an experienced roofer ready to help.
We’re fully trade accredited. Aspect is a member of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) and is registered with TrustMark. In addition, the Aspect Guarantee covers our tradesmen’s workmanship for up to 12-months.
When you book an Aspect roofer for your flat roof repairs you can count on getting the professional expertise you’re looking for.
If you suspect your flat roof needs repair due to water getting into your property, it’s important to get the problem fully assessed and fixed as quickly as possible.
If repair work isn’t carried out quickly the damage caused by water can dramatically increase repair costs. Structural timbers can be weakened if they’re continually holding water. Saturated brickwork and masonry can cause internal damp problems that can result in the need for extensive internal decoration work.
An Aspect roofer will check your flat roof thoroughly when called for repair work. If necessary, they will try to stop any further damage from taking place before continuing with their repairs.
Common weak points on a flat roof are around the edges, and abutment points. Roof coverings where allowances have not been made for structural movement, are possible sources of leaks as well as defective flashings and pointing.
Sometimes the defects on a flat roof are so extensive or severe that the roof needs replacing. If this is the case we’ll provide you with a detailed assessment of the findings and a fixed price quote to get the work completed.
Pooling is one of the most common problems on a flat roof. This happens when the roof does not drain rainwater as it should. The weight of water, and other soaked debris that has collected, places excess stress on joints and seals. A roof that either has pooling that covers a large area, or is more than 20mm deep might at least need a professional assessment.
Visible signs of potential drainage problems on a flat roof, other than the obvious presence of pools of water, include the growth of mosses and other plants and watermarks that indicate where water has previously collected.
Flat roofs with pooling problems don’t necessarily need to be replaced as patch repairs can sometimes be made.
