Flat Roof Repair
Leaking or damaged flat roof? Rather than patching the same problem twice, we overlay the affected area with Ultraflex - a cold-liquid, fully bonded waterproof layer that bonds to almost any existing surface and is rainproof in 30 minutes.
The problems with traditional flat roof patch repairs
Standard patch repairs - bitumen tape, GRP patches, sealant or felt overlays on a single area - rarely solve the underlying problem. They create new weak points and almost always fail again within a few seasons.
New seams and weak points
Every patch creates a fresh edge bonded onto an aged surface. Those edges lift, crack and leak again as soon as the next winter cycles through.
Treats the symptom, not the cause
Water often tracks under the membrane far from where it shows inside. Patching the visible damp spot leaves the real failure untouched.
Mismatched materials
Bitumen on EPDM, GRP on felt, sealant on aged membranes - incompatible materials don't bond properly and peel away under thermal movement.
Short lifespan
Most patch repairs are a 6-24 month fix at best. You pay again and again to chase the same leak around the roof.
Hides bigger problems
Repeated patching can mask saturated insulation and rotting deck below - turning a waterproofing job into a structural one.

Why patch repairs fail - and our waterproofing system doesn't
Traditional patch repairs often introduce incompatible materials, creating new joints and weak points that can lift, crack, or fail as the roof expands and contracts with seasonal temperature changes. Our waterproofing system bonds seamlessly to the existing substrate, forming a single continuous waterproof membrane. Reinforced with embedded fibreglass matting, it accommodates structural movement while resisting splitting and cracking, providing a durable, long-lasting repair.

Why Ultraflex — FAQs
The most common questions we get asked about the Ultraflex cold-liquid waterproofing system.
How quickly can you attend a leaking flat roof?
For active leaks into an occupied building we prioritise attendance and can usually carry out a temporary weatherproofing visit quickly to stop water getting in, then schedule the permanent repair once the roof has been properly surveyed and dried.
Why does the leak appear nowhere near the damaged area?
Because water travels. It enters at a defect, runs across the deck or through the insulation, and drops through at the first joist, penetration or change of level it meets. This is why repairing the spot directly above the ceiling stain so often achieves nothing, and why we survey the whole roof before quoting.
Is it worth repairing my flat roof or should I replace it?
It depends on the condition of the insulation and deck rather than the age of the covering. If the build-up is dry and the failure is localised, an overlay repair is excellent value. If water has saturated the insulation across a wide area or the deck has begun to rot, cutting out and rebuilding those areas is the only honest answer, and we will tell you which situation you are in.
How long does a repair last?
A properly diagnosed overlay repair using the reinforced liquid system carries the same twenty-year guarantee as a full roof. Tape, sealant and patch repairs, by contrast, typically hold for six to twenty four months, because they create a new stressed edge without removing the cause of the original failure.
Can you repair a roof in winter?
Yes. The resins are formulated for application down to around freezing on the main roof and slightly below on details, and they are rainproof in as little as thirty minutes, so repairs are practical through the months when flat roof leaks actually show up.
Do you repair roofs you did not install?
Regularly. Most of our repair work is on felt, asphalt, GRP, EPDM and single ply roofs installed by others, including roofs that have already had several unsuccessful patch repairs. The system bonds to all of those substrates once they are prepared and primed correctly.
