The need for an emergency roof repair commonly strikes homeowners around the UK, and it always seems to be when you could do without it the most. When a flat roof leaks, it must be dealt with as quickly as possible, to avoid costly damage to your roof deck and to interior decorations or goods stored inside.
A leaking roof in need of emergency roof repair on a flat roof extension can be easily and quickly spotted, but outside buildings such as a garden shed, office or garage can sometimes be left for weeks, particularly over the winter months.
Checking your roofing for signs of leaking
It makes sense to periodically check flat roofing so that any issues can be spotted and dealt with before they become more serious problems.
Carry out visual inspections regularly, every few weeks to make sure you know your roofing. This way, when things begin to go wrong, you will know. Look for signs of bubbling or cracking in old felt coverings or membranes as this will be a giveaway sign of something going on underneath the roofing. Ponding water on the roof surface is also a sign of potential damage.
Calling in the professionals
An emergency roof repair often calls for professional attention – but this doesn’t always need to prove as costly as you’d think. Contact us today if you have an queries or would like to discuss what to do next with a leaking flat roof.
