Any roofing, regardless of material, size or style, requires some maintenance and regular checks, especially after severe weather.

Flat roofs are susceptible to leaks due to inadequate drainage outlets and shoddy workmanship. Regular maintenance is required to prevent the sun from causing blistering and cracking on the surface. Punctures are also common, and generally caused by people walking upon it. Badly installed flashings may also cause problems. Flat roof repair addresses all these issues, whether the material is mineral felt, asphalt, lead, copper or zinc. Be aware that the type of material will affect the cost of mending it.

Asphalt, a petroleum by product, is a popular coating particularly for flat roofs. Asphalt surfaces require a fair amount of maintenance, and may be susceptible to weather damage. Only certified professionals should lay asphalt roofing. Imprecise asphalt laying and the use of insufficient material could jeopardise the longevity of the structure, requiring a full replacement in as little as two years. Only professionals should tackle fixing an asphalt rooftop, as it can be dangerous and labour-intensive work.

Flashing is essential for proper drainage on all roofing. Improper or insufficient flashing details can result in severe leakage. Caulks or sealant should not be used instead of flashing even though they may be cheaper options. Flashing reconstruction is an investment when it comes to longevity. Paying the price for proper flashing installation and repair could end up saving you pricey replacements in the long run. It's worth noting that when repairing a conservatory roof, most often it's the flashing causing the issue.

Metal roofing such as stainless steel, copper, zinc, aluminium and lead sheeting are all highly durable and weather-resistant. Metal however, may still require regular maintenance and repair. Since metal is a good conductor of heat, damage may be caused by thermal movement. Correct remedy usually involves lead work for sealing joints and creating durable flashing.
