Here's a breakdown from our blog post of some of the common flat roof repairs our Bristol roofers often undertake.
Common flat roof repairs
Leak Repairs
Firstly, leak repairs such as penetration from various points pipes, vents or skylights protrude. Our Bristol flat roofer will identify the source and repair or replace the flashing. Secondly, 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. Finally, problems with seams as over time, seams where different sections of the roofing membrane meet can weaken and leak. Consequently, repairing these seams might involve applying sealant or even replacing sections of the membrane.
Drainage Issues
Blocked drainage 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. Therefore, repairs might involve adjusting the slope slightly or installing additional drainage points.
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. Depending on the severity, repairs might involve patching or replacing sections of the membrane.
Regular inspections by a qualified Bristol flat roofer can identify minor issues before they become major problems. Moreover, this can save you money on repairs and extend the lifespan of your flat roof.

Flat Roofing Types
Generally, Flat roofing techniques fall into cold works and hot works categories. Whilst cold works are simpler to apply they are less effective on uneven surfaces or in cold weather. Hot works involve bitumen bonding or torch-on felt, offering stronger adhesion and suitability for larger or complex surfaces but requiring skilled application. Choosing the best roofing material, such as EPDM, fibreglass GRP, felt, or SBS depends on personal preference, project needs, and factors like budget or climate. Therefore, getting good advice for your specific roof, ensures the right fit and a durable result.
Single Ply, GRP, SBS & Felt Roofing
Our expert local Bristol flat roofers specialise in all types of flat roofing on residential and commercial properties. Consequently, we understand our industry extremely well and can apply our knowledge and experience to various flat roofing requirements. Only the highest quality materials and tools are used by our professional team to ensure that the best possible results can be achieved.

Choosing flat roofing makes sense because it's UV stable and weatherproof making it the perfect solution for both domestic and commercial. As a result, applications include porches, extensions and garage roofs.

Flat Roofers FAQ'S:
- Inspection First: Roofers inspect the existing structure to ensure its sound. Adding new material over an unsound roof can lead to further complications, such as leaks or structural failure.
- Removal is Preferred: While it's sometimes possible to install new roofing (like a single-ply membrane) over the existing layer, most roofers recommend removing the old felt or other materials. Consequently, this allows them to address any underlying issues, such as rot, dampness, or structural weakness.
A. Yes, certain flat roofing systems can have a life expectancy exceeding 40 years when installed correctly and maintained properly. This longevity is often certified by authoritative bodies like the British Board of Agrément (BBA), which evaluates and certifies construction products and systems. For example:
- Fibreglass (GRP) Roofing: Known for its durability and watertight properties, GRP roofs can last over 40 years.
- EPDM Rubber Roofing: High-quality EPDM systems often come with warranties of 20–30 years, but with proper care, they can last beyond 40 years.
- Felt Roofing: While traditional felt roofs have a shorter lifespan, modern versions with reinforced layers can also achieve impressive longevity.
At AMAC Roofing in Bristol, we supply and install flat roofing systems designed for durability and long-term performance. We ensure that our installations meet certified standards and include the best materials to achieve maximum lifespan. Crucially, regular inspections and maintenance can further enhance this durability.
- For Ladders: It’s recommended to board out the area where ladders will be used to distribute the weight and prevent damage to the roof's surface.
- Footwear: Wearing soft-soled shoes can minimise the risk of scuffing or puncturing the roof material.
- Weight Limits: While light foot traffic is acceptable, heavier loads should be avoided unless the roof is specifically reinforced for such purposes.
