Flat Roofing Repairs Bath
Flat roofs while offering a modern aesthetic, require specific attention to prevent leaks and ensure their longevity. There are some common types of flat roofing repairs you might encounter in Bath. For example, leaks caused by punctures or tears in the membrane, flashing issue or seam leaks. Alternatively, you may experience cracking and splitting due to the weather or extreme damage caused by wind damage. Drainage can also be problem if clogged up or you can get ponding of water caused by heavy rain or a drainage issue.
We do flat roofing repairs in Bath as well as total replacement roofs. Plus, we are always happy to provide upfront advice on your roof and answer your questions. For example, which roof system to use? Can your flat roof be repaired?
Common flat roof repairs
- Leak Repairs - such as penetration from various points pipes, vents or skylights protrude. Our Bath flat roofer will identify the source. For example, repair or replace the flashing or punctures, as flat roofs can be susceptible to punctures from foot traffic, hail, or debris. Therefore, this type of repair involves patching the puncture with appropriate materials to maintain water-tightness. Alternatively, problems with seams can occur, as over time, seams where different sections of the roofing membrane meet can weaken and leak.
- Drainage Issues - blocked drainage is common as flat roofs rely on proper drainage to prevent water pooling. Therefore, clogged gutters, scuppers or internal drains can lead to water accumulation and potential leaks. If pooling water on your flat roof does occur, this can indicate a problem with the drainage system or a low-slope issue.
- Membrane Issues - air pockets trapped between the membrane and insulation can form blisters. Therefore, puncturing and letting the air escape, followed by resealing is needed. Additionally, cracks and tears in the roofing membrane can be caused by exposure to UV rays and weather elements. Therefore, these will need prompt attention to prevent leaks.

A: Whether a roofer can fit new roofing materials over an existing roof cover depends on the roof's condition and the type of roofing system. Generally:
- Inspection First: Roofers will inspect the existing structure to ensure it's sound. Installing new material over a damaged roof could lead to further issues like leaks or structural problems.
- Removal is Preferred: While some roofing systems, like single-ply membranes, can be applied over the old layer, most roofers recommend removing the existing material. This allows them to address any underlying issues such as rot or weakness.
Ultimately, removing the old layer ensures a more reliable, long-lasting roof. Therefore, our roofer will assess your roof’s specific condition to make the best decision for your project.
A: Yes, this is certified by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) and certain flat roofing systems can last over 40 years with proper installation and maintenance. Some examples include:
- Fibreglass (GRP) Roofing: Known for its durability and watertight properties, GRP roofs can easily exceed 40 years.
- EPDM Rubber Roofing: High-quality EPDM systems often come with warranties of 20–30 years, but with good care, they can last beyond 40 years.
- Felt Roofing: While traditional felt roofs have a shorter lifespan, modern versions with reinforced layers can also provide long-term performance.
At AMAC Roofing in Bristol, we use only the highest-quality materials and ensure our flat roofing systems meet certified standards for maximum durability. Crucially, regular inspections and maintenance are key to extending the lifespan of your roof.
A: Yes, our flat roofing systems are designed to handle light foot traffic, such as a window cleaner walking on the surface. However, to protect the roof and ensure safety, consider the following:
- For Ladders: Use boards to distribute the weight where ladders are placed, preventing damage to the roof.
- Footwear: Soft-soled shoes are recommended to avoid scuffing or puncturing the roof material.
- Weight Limits: While light foot traffic is fine, avoid heavy loads unless the roof is specifically reinforced for this purpose.
Health and safety precautions should always be taken when working at height. Ultimately, a trained professional should be employed. Therefore, by taking these precautions, you can help maintain the roof's integrity while allowing occasional access.
