Flat Roofing in Solihull, Leamington Spa & Stratford-upon-Avon

JCD Roofing provides professional flat roof repairs for domestic and commercial properties throughout Solihull, Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding areas.

Flat Roof Repairs

Where the existing flat roof remains serviceable, we can advise on appropriate remedial repairs. Where deterioration is more widespread, we will explain whether refurbishment or replacement would provide a better long-term solution.

Common Causes & Signs of Flat Roof Problems

Common causes

Flat roof problems can develop for a number of reasons, including:

  • Ageing or damaged membranes
  • Failed joints and detailing
  • Inadequate falls
  • Blocked or poorly positioned outlets
  • Deterioration of the underlying roof deck

Signs to look out for

Common signs of a problem include:

  • Water ingress
  • Blistering or splitting of the roof covering
  • Lifting edges
  • Damaged detailing
  • Areas of standing or ponding water

Our approach is to assess the roof as a complete system rather than simply patching the area where a leak becomes visible.

Our approach

This can include examining the condition of the existing waterproofing, outlets and drainage, falls, roof deck, upstands, penetrations and perimeter details to identify the likely cause of the problem.

  • Waterproofing
  • Outlets & drainage
  • Falls
  • Roof deck
  • Upstands
  • Penetrations
  • Perimeter details

Flat Roof Replacement

There comes a point where repeatedly repairing an ageing or poorly performing flat roof is no longer the most economical option.

These can all indicate that complete replacement should be considered:

  • Recurring leaks
  • Widespread membrane deterioration
  • Persistent ponding water
  • Defective detailing
  • Problems with the underlying roof construction

JCD Roofing can remove the existing roofing system where required, assess the underlying construction and provide a replacement flat roof specification appropriate to the property.

Fix the original construction

Replacing a flat roof also provides an opportunity to address problems that may exist within the original construction. Depending on the project, this can include:

  • Improving insulation
  • Correcting falls
  • Upgrading drainage
  • Replacing deteriorated decking

…before installing the new waterproofing system.

Long-term value

Our aim is to provide a properly constructed roofing system that delivers reliable waterproofing, durability and long-term value rather than continuing to spend money repairing a roof that has reached the end of its serviceable life.

New Flat Roofing Installations

JCD Roofing installs new flat roofing systems for home extensions, garages, new-build properties, renovations and commercial developments.

The most appropriate flat roofing system will depend on factors including:

  • Roof construction
  • Size
  • Design
  • Intended use
  • Required finish

Our flat roofing expertise includes Alwitra single-ply membrane systems, EPDM rubber roofing and other appropriate flat roofing solutions, allowing us to recommend a system according to the individual requirements of the project rather than applying the same solution to every roof.

Every part of the build-up is considered, not just the membrane.

The complete roof build-up

For new flat roof installations, careful consideration is given to the complete roof build-up. This includes the roof deck or substrate, insulation, falls, drainage and outlets, waterproofing membrane, upstands, roof penetrations, perimeter details and junctions with adjoining walls or pitched roofs.

Correct detailing in these areas is fundamental to the long-term performance of a flat roof.

Why Choose Our Flat Roofing Specialists?

JCD Roofing combines over 40 years' combined roofing experience with specialist training in modern flat roofing and waterproofing systems.

Our team has undertaken specialist training in Alwitra single-ply membrane roofing, giving us the technical knowledge required to correctly install and detail high-performance membrane roofing systems.

Our wider roofing experience also covers EPDM, traditional roofing and specialist metal roofing, allowing us to understand how different roofing systems need to integrate where several roof types meet on the same property.

We use quality roofing materials from recognised manufacturers and place particular importance on correct preparation and detailing around outlets, upstands, penetrations, rooflights, edges and junctions – areas where poor installation can commonly lead to future problems.

Our workmanship is supported by JCD Roofing's guarantees, with manufacturer warranties also available where applicable to the roofing system installed.

As a family-run roofing contractor, we pride ourselves on quality workmanship, attention to detail and straightforward advice. If an existing flat roof can be effectively repaired, we will advise accordingly. If replacement represents the better long-term investment, we will explain why and discuss the available options.
