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 approachThis 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.
