Warning signs

Is Your Flat Roof in Need of Repair?

Leaks or Water Stains

The most obvious sign of a problem, often appearing on the ceiling below the flat roof.

Pooling or Standing Water

Water that sits on your flat roof for more than 48 hours indicates improper drainage.

Visible Damage

Look for cracks, blisters, bubbles, or tears in the flat roof membrane.

Sagging Roofline

A sagging flat roof can indicate a major structural problem or waterlogged decking.

Moss or Plant Growth

Extensive growth can trap moisture and cause the membrane to deteriorate.

Increased Energy Bills

An old or poorly installed flat roof can lack proper insulation, leading to heat loss.

Choose wisely

The true cost of cheap work.

A low quote for a flat roof can be tempting, but poor workmanship isn't just cosmetic -- it can lead to serious, expensive problems.

Incorrect Drainage

Leads to standing water, which puts stress on the membrane and causes leaks.

Substandard Materials

Cheap materials won't stand up to Plymouth and Devon's weather, leading to premature failure.

Poorly Sealed Joints

Joints that aren't sealed correctly can open up and allow water to get in.

Bad Edge Detailing

Poorly installed flashing can cause water to seep behind the membrane and rot the decking.

Lack of Insulation

Overlooked insulation leads to heat loss and higher energy bills.

A professionally installed GRP or EPDM flat roof will last 25-30 years with minimal maintenance. Older felt systems typically last 10-15 years.

GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber are the two leading modern systems. Both are highly durable and come with manufacturer-backed guarantees of 20+ years.

In many cases, yes. We can apply a new membrane over the existing surface if the decking beneath is sound. We'll assess this during the free inspection.

No. A well-installed flat roof with proper drainage and quality materials is completely watertight. Problems arise from poor installation or aged materials.

"Kitchen extension flat roof had been patched three times by other roofers. Tamar Roofing stripped it all off, fitted EPDM with proper drip edges and outlets. Two years on, bone dry…"
