Flat roof: repair or replacement?

Understand the questions that shape a flat-roof assessment.

Start with the source of the leak

A flat-roof leak can involve a seam, edge, outlet or junction with a wall. The visible damp patch indoors may not show exactly where water enters. An inspection should consider the roof system and drainage together.

Check the condition beneath the covering

A damaged waterproof surface may conceal moisture in the deck or supporting timber. Covering over weakened material does not resolve the underlying issue. The assessment needs to establish whether local preparation and repair are enough.

Match the scope to the roof

A local repair can be appropriate where surrounding material is sound. Widespread deterioration, repeated failure or drainage problems may make replacement more practical. Felt, rubber and fibreglass systems each require suitable details and preparation.

Ask for a clear quotation

The quotation should identify the covering, decking repairs, upstands, edge details and drainage connections included. Pro Fix Roofing can discuss flat-roof assessments across Dublin and Bray.
