Flat Roofing Repairs

Common flat roof issues

ponding water on flat roof

Ponding water

Flat roofing often suffers from poor drainage, leading to the accumulation of stagnant water. Prolonged standing water can degrade the roofing membrane, resulting in potential leaks and structural damage.

flat roof blistering

Blistering

Trapped air or moisture beneath or between layers of the roofing membrane can cause blistering. When exposed to heat from the sun, these blisters expand, stretching and damaging the membrane.

flat roof buckling membrane

Buckling in membrane

Over time, natural settling and movement of the building can cause the roofing membrane to buckle. This movement is especially noticeable since flat roof membranes usually consist of a single sheet.

flat roof alligatoring issue

Alligatoring

Alligatoring refers to the cracking pattern resembling an alligator’s hide on the surface coating or bitumen of a flat roof. This can occur due to factors like water damage, debris accumulation, or prolonged sun exposure. Untreated cracks can worsen, leading to further water intrusion and structural issues.

flat roof thermal movement

Thermal movement

Temperature fluctuations cause the roofing materials to expand and contract. However, excessive thermal movement can weaken the roof, potentially resulting in leaks. It can also affect the flashing, causing it to separate from the roof edges and create entry points for water.

Good service

Used a locksmith from Pimlico who completed works to a high standard and was fully equipped. At the end, offered if there was anything other carpentry work they could do. Quite pricey but a no fuss experience so very worth it
