Expert Flat Roof Repair In Lostwithiel, Cornwall

Flat roofs can develop a range of issues, often due to age, poor installation, or storm damage. Common problems I tackle include:

• Cracked or Blistering Felt: Older felt roofs can become brittle, leading to cracks that allow water to penetrate. Blisters form when moisture gets trapped, weakening the surface.
• Pooling Water (Ponding): If your flat roof isn't draining correctly, water can sit for long periods, stressing the waterproofing membrane and leading to premature failure.
• Failed Flashing: The seals around chimneys, skylights, or adjoining walls are common points for leaks when they deteriorate.
• Storm Damage: High winds and heavy rain can lift membranes, dislodge trims, or cause punctures.
  I approach every repair with a thorough assessment, finding the root cause of the problem, rather than just patching the symptom. This ensures a durable repair that stands the test of time.
