All roofs are vulnerable, but flat roofs – so commonly used on commercial buildings and domestic extensions or outbuildings – are notorious for being prone to leaks far more readily than pitched roofs.
The secret to staying on top of the condition of your flat roof is to keep an eye on it. Even slight damage can have severe consequences, so we would recommend checking your roof at least twice a year, just after there’s been some rain, even if there are no apparent problems and the roof is relatively new.
If you don’t fancy climbing up on your flat roof in Bristol, or you spot any problems you can call us in to perform a roof survey for you.
When you check your roof on the outside, things to look out for are:
On the inside check for damp spots on the ceiling, bubbling on interior walls and mould growth, which are all signs of a faulty flat roof.
If in doubt about the state of your flat roof in Bristol, don’t hesitate to call us out to take a look before things get worse. If the damage has not progressed to impact on the timbers of the roof deck, and the covering is damaged rather than degraded, then it is quite likely that we can effect repairs rather than a complete flat roof replacement.
We are able to fix flat roofs in Bristol no matter what size, shape or type of roof it is, and what material it is covered with – traditional felt, GRP Fibreglass or EPDM rubber.

We are available for flat roof repairs across all the Bristol postcode areas, from the central city and Redcliffe (BS1), Kingsdown, St Paul’s St Phillips and St Agnes (BS2) through to the outer Bristol areas like Weston-super-Mare (BS22-BS24), Axbridge (BS26), Banwell (BS29), Cheddar (BS27), Clevedon (BS21), Wedmore (BS28) and Winscombe (BS25). We also cover north Somerset and the areas of Greater Bristol that lie in south Gloucestershire like Patchway (BS10), Bradley Stoke (BS32) and Filton (BS34).
How long your flat roof will last without degrading and succumbing to the deterioration of age depends on a number of factors such as the material it is covered with, how well it is maintained and – most importantly – how professionally it was installed originally.
An EPDM rubber flat roof in Bristol could last for 50 years or more, whereas a traditional felt flat roof generally lasts for around 10 years before it needs replacing.
