Expert Flat Roof Felt Repairs in Caterham & Surrounding Areas

Dealing with a flat roof leak or damage needs a professional hand. Our process for felt roof repairs is thorough and focused on durability. First, we carry out a detailed inspection, identifying the exact source and extent of the damage. We don't just patch over the problem; we get to the root of it. Whether it's replacing a section of aged felt with new high-performance torch-on felt, applying specialist liquid repair systems, or re-sealing critical joins and upstands, we use quality materials designed for longevity. Our skilled roofers ensure every repair job is seamless, waterproof, and properly bonded to give you many more years of service from your flat roof. We take pride in our workmanship, ensuring every repair is a robust solution.

While we always aim to repair your felt roof effectively, there are times when a full replacement becomes the more economical and reliable option in the long run. If your felt roof is extensively degraded, has multiple large tears, widespread blistering, or if the underlying timber deck is rotten, a repair might only be a temporary band-aid. In these cases, we’ll advise you honestly. We offer full flat roof replacement services, including modern, high-performance felt systems (such as multi-layer torch-on), or even an upgrade to more durable options like GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, depending on your needs and budget. We provide clear, no-obligation quotes so you can make an informed decision for your home in Caterham.

A little care can go a long way in extending the life of your flat felt roof and preventing the need for frequent repairs. Here are some simple tips:

• Keep it Clear: Regularly remove leaves, moss, and debris, especially from around drainage points and gutters. Blocked gutters can cause water to back up onto your roof.
• Check for Pooling: After heavy rain, check if water is pooling on your roof. Persistent pooling can indicate a problem with the roof’s fall or drainage.
• Visual Inspections: From the ground (safely, with binoculars), periodically check for obvious signs of damage like cracks, tears, or lifted felt.
• Professional Checks: Consider an annual professional inspection. Our drone roof surveys are ideal for this, safely identifying potential issues early, even on hard-to-reach flat roofs. Early detection of small issues can save you significant repair costs down the line.
