Roofer in Shoreham – Flat Roof Repairs
Not every tired flat roof needs replacing. A covering that’s sound overall but split at a corner, blistered in patches or leaking at a joint can often be properly repaired — and a proper repair, unlike a smear of bitumen from a tin, will actually hold.
Evo Roofing repairs flat roofs across Shoreham, Lancing and Worthing — on extensions, garages, porches, dormers and bay tops.
Flat roof problems we fix
- Splits and cracks in felt, especially at upstands and edges
- Blisters where moisture has got beneath the covering
- Failed laps and joints letting water track sideways
- Ponding — water still sitting on the roof days after rain
- Damage around outlets, rooflights and pipe penetrations
Repair or replace? An honest answer
The right call depends on what the covering as a whole is doing. A local fault on an otherwise sound roof is a repair. Felt that has crazed, cracked and blistered across its surface is finished — patching it just moves the leak along, and we’d be taking your money to postpone the inevitable. When that’s the situation we’ll say so plainly and quote for replacement, usually in seamless GRP fibreglass, alongside the repair option so you can compare properly.
Why act on a flat roof leak quickly
Flat roofs hide their damage. Water that gets through the covering soaks into the decking and insulation, spreads sideways, and shows up indoors somewhere else entirely — often long after the rot has taken hold. A repair caught early is a small job; the same leak left for a couple of winters can mean a new deck as well as a new covering. If you suspect yours, it’s worth the phone call.

Shoreham roofing questions
Can a flat roof be repaired in winter?
Small repairs, often yes in a dry window; full re-covers need reasonable conditions. If yours is leaking now we can make it watertight and book the proper work for better weather.
Why does my flat roof hold puddles?
Ponding means the falls are wrong or the deck has sagged — standing water ages any covering fast. Sometimes better drainage solves it; sometimes it’s telling you the deck needs attention.
Repair or replace — how do you decide?
A local fault on a sound covering is a repair. Felt crazed and patched all over is finished — repairing it just moves the leak. We quote both honestly when it’s genuinely borderline.
