Flat Roof Repair London

Flat roofs often suffer from leaks, ponding water (where water pools instead of draining), mWe'llne damage or blistering, failing flashings or joints, degradation from UV exposure, damage from debris, and sometimes structural issues if water has been entering unnoticed. Because London has frequent rain and changing weather, these issues tend to become more serious if not addressed quickly.

If you notice leaks, damp spots inside, sagging, or water pooling, it's best not to wait. What starts small can lead to more significant structural damage, mould, or damage to ceilings, insulation, and other components. We recommend acting as soon as possible — Environ offers prompt surveys & repairs to avoid further damage.

We work with a variety of flat roofing materials, including membranes (e.g. EPDM rubber, single-ply), felt, torch-on membranes, lead flashings and more. Each has pros & cons: EPDM is durable and flexible, felt or torch-on can be more cost-effective, and lead helps detail and edges. The best option depends on the existing roof, budget, desired lifespan, maintenance requirements, and aesthetic preferences.

It depends on the scale of the damage. Simple patching or fixing leaking joints could be done in a few hours (or a day). More extensive damage (such as large membrane replacement, structural repair, and ensuring correct fall/drainage) may take a couple of days. We'll give a more precise time estimate after a survey. — We aim to minimise disruption to your day-to-day life.

We aim to get to the root cause. This involves identifying issues such as poor drainage (ponding), defective or degraded seams, membrane failure, and other similar problems. Then we propose either repairs or replacements as needed to prevent recurrence. Temporary fixes are sometimes necessary in emergencies, but long-term integrity is our goal. 

Often, no, especially for repairs that don't alter the roof's shape, pitch, or structure. However, if you're changing insulation levels, redoing the roof height, adjusting the fall or drainage systems significantly, or in a conservation area or listed building, regulations or permissions may be required. We can advise you during the survey to ensure compliance.

Costs vary depending on the size of the flat roof, the materials involved, the extent of damage, whether structural repairs are needed, the roof's accessibility, whether removal of old materials is required, and whether temporary measures are necessary first. After our inspection & assessment, we provide a detailed, transparent quote so you know what you are paying for.

Yes. We stand behind our workmanship and use quality materials. Depending on the repair type and materials, there's usually a warranty period that ensures the patching, membrane repair, or sealing will last without defect. We will explain what is covered, how long it lasts, and what conditions apply.

Some helpful ongoing steps include removing debris (leaves, branches), ensuring drains/gutters are clear so water drains correctly, inspecting flashing seals (particularly after storms), checking for ponding and correcting drainage if needed, and regularly checking for signs of wear/damage. Catching minor issues early avoids larger repair bills.

Our team conducts thorough diagnostics, explains your options, gives fair quotes, works to minimise inconvenience, and backs our work with guarantees.
