What Our Flat Roof Repair Service Covers
Every flat roof repair starts with a thorough inspection to find the exact source of the problem. Flat roof leaks are not always directly above the visible water damage inside, so we check the entire roof surface, seams, flashings, and drainage before we start any work.
Flat Roof Leak Repairs
We locate and repair leaks on all flat roofing types, tracing the water entry point and fixing the membrane, seam, or flashing that has failed.
Fibreglass (GRP) Flat Roof Repairs
We repair cracks, chips, delamination, and failed joints on fibreglass flat roofs, restoring the watertight seal without needing a full replacement.
Felt Flat Roof Repairs
We repair splits, tears, blistering, and lifted seams on felt flat roofs. Where the felt is beyond repair, we can overlay or strip and replace.
Rubber (EPDM) Flat Roof Repairs
We repair punctures, lifted edges, and failed adhesion on rubber EPDM flat roofs using compatible patching materials and adhesives.
Flat Roof Blister and Bubble Repairs
We cut out and repair blisters and bubbles caused by trapped moisture or poor installation, preventing them from splitting and letting water in.
Ponding and Drainage Correction
We correct standing water problems caused by incorrect falls, blocked outlets, or sagging deck boards, preventing long-term damage to the roof membrane.
Flat Roof Flashing Repairs
We repair and replace flashings where your flat roof meets walls, parapets, and upstands, which is one of the most common sources of flat roof leaks.
Emergency Flat Roof Repairs
We provide fast-response emergency repairs for active leaks and storm damage on flat roofs to prevent further water ingress and interior damage.
We repair all flat roofing systems found on Cheltenham properties, including fibreglass (GRP), felt, rubber (EPDM), and lead. If your flat roof is beyond repair or has failed repeatedly, our roof replacement service can provide a long-term solution.

Flat Roof Repair Costs in Cheltenham
The cost of flat roof repairs in Cheltenham depends on the type of flat roofing system, the size of the damaged area, the cause of the problem, and whether any structural work is needed underneath.
Small repairs such as patching a puncture or resealing a lifted edge are typically at the lower end of the scale. Larger repairs such as replacing failed sections of membrane, correcting ponding across a full roof area, or emergency leak repairs will cost more.
Fibreglass (GRP) repairs tend to cost more than felt repairs due to the materials and preparation required. Properties where the flat roof covers an extension, dormer, or bay window are usually quicker and less expensive to repair than a large flat roof over a full building section.
We provide clear, written quotes before any work begins. The price we quote is the price you pay, with no hidden costs or surprise charges. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote. Regular roof maintenance can also help catch flat roof problems early before they lead to leaks.

Flat Roof Repairs FAQs
What causes flat roof leaks?
The most common causes of flat roof leaks are cracked or blistered felt, failed seams where sheets overlap, ponding water from poor drainage, damage from foot traffic or falling debris, and age-related deterioration. Cheltenham’s rainfall makes flat roofs particularly vulnerable if not maintained.
How long do flat roof repairs last?
What flat roofing systems do you use?
We work with felt, fibreglass (GRP), and rubber (EPDM) flat roofing systems. Fibreglass is the most durable and popular choice for modern flat roofs, offering a seamless, waterproof finish. We will assess your roof and recommend the best system for your property.
How much do flat roof repairs cost in Cheltenham?
The cost of flat roof repairs depends on the size of the area affected, the type of repair needed, and the roofing material. Minor repairs such as patching a small leak are significantly less expensive than a full re-covering. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all flat roof work.
Can you convert my felt roof to fibreglass?
Yes, upgrading from felt to fibreglass (GRP) is one of our most popular services. Fibreglass offers a longer lifespan, better waterproofing, and lower maintenance than traditional felt. We can overlay the existing structure in most cases without a full rebuild.
Should I repair or replace my flat roof?
If the damage is localised, such as a single leak or a small area of blistering, a repair is usually the most practical option. If the roof has multiple problem areas, is over 15 years old, or has persistent ponding water issues, a full replacement is likely more cost-effective in the long run.
