Get a QuoteFlat roofs don't shed water the way a pitched roof does, so any weak point becomes a problem fast. A few things tend to be the culprit:
There isn't one "best" material — it depends on the roof, the budget, and how long you want it to last.
Most flat roof leaks come from one failed spot, not the whole surface, so a flat roof repair London job is usually quicker and cheaper than people expect:
| Material | Typical Lifespan | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Felt (3-Layer) | 10–15 years | Sheds, low-budget garage roofs |
| GRP Fibreglass | 25–30 years | Extensions, balconies, garages |
| EPDM Single-Ply | 30–50 years | Larger flat roofs, commercial units |
A full replacement strips the old covering back to the deck, checks and replaces any damp timber underneath, adds fresh insulation, then fits a new membrane with properly sealed edges and upstands. It's the same care we'd put into a full new roof installation London job — just built flat instead of pitched.
Spotted an active leak? That's the kind of thing that calls for an emergency roof repair London callout rather than waiting for a scheduled visit.
A warm roof build places insulation above the structural deck rather than below it, which cuts down on condensation risk and keeps the room underneath noticeably warmer. It's become the standard approach on most new flat roof installs, and it's worth checking your build meets current Building Regulations thermal requirements, particularly on extensions.
We take on the same job whether it's a domestic extension roof or a commercial flat roof over a shop or warehouse. The materials and scale differ, but the standard doesn't — proper insulation, correctly sealed joints, and a roof that isn't going to need attention again in three years.

Most single-leak flat roof repair London jobs are done within a day, weather allowing. Larger sections take longer depending on the damage.
A little water draining slowly after heavy rain is normal. Water still sitting after 48 hours usually points to a drainage or fall issue worth checking.
Both are solid choices. GRP suits smaller, detailed roofs well; EPDM tends to be the better fit for larger, simpler expanses.
