Flat Roof Maintenance
A flat roof rewards a little care. Blocked outlets, lifting laps and small splits are cheap to put right early and expensive to ignore. Our planned maintenance keeps commercial and domestic roofs watertight, extends their service life and helps keep manufacturer guarantees valid, with a clear written report after every visit.
Why flat roofs need maintenance
Most flat roof failures do not happen overnight. They start small: a blocked outlet that lets water pond, a lap that begins to lift at the edge, a split in old felt, or sealant that has perished around an upstand. Left alone through a few winters, those small issues become leaks, and leaks become damaged ceilings, insulation and stock.
A short maintenance visit catches those problems while they are still cheap to fix. Clearing outlets and gutters so water leaves the roof, re-dressing a lifting lap, and resealing tired detailing can add years to a roof for a fraction of the cost of a replacement.
Flat roof surveys and inspections
We carry out flat roof surveys and condition inspections for homeowners, landlords, managing agents and businesses. That includes one-off condition reports, pre-purchase and pre-lease surveys, and dilapidations support, as well as the routine inspections that sit inside a planned maintenance schedule.
After an inspection you get a clear written report with photographs, an honest assessment of the roof condition and remaining life, and a prioritised list of any works, so you can budget and plan rather than react to the next leak. Where it helps, we can also test the roof electronically to confirm its integrity and locate any breaches.
Planned maintenance that protects your guarantee
Most manufacturer guarantees expect a roof to be reasonably maintained. Documented inspections not only keep the roof performing, they evidence that upkeep if you ever need to rely on a guarantee or satisfy an insurer.
We set up simple maintenance schedules suited to the roof, its age and its use, typically once or twice a year and after major storms, with every visit recorded. Commercial clients can have a recurring schedule across one site or a whole portfolio.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer maintenance contracts for commercial premises?
Yes. We set up planned maintenance schedules for commercial and industrial buildings, with documented visits and reports, across single sites or whole portfolios.
Will maintenance keep my guarantee valid?
Most manufacturer guarantees expect reasonable maintenance. Documented inspections help keep yours valid and evidence the roof upkeep.
Do you carry out pre-purchase flat roof surveys?
Yes. We provide condition and pre-purchase surveys with a written report, photographs and an honest view of the roof condition and remaining life.
How often should a flat roof be inspected?
Once or twice a year is sensible for most roofs, plus a check after any major storm. Older or high-value roofs may warrant more frequent visits.
Do you maintain roofs you did not install?
Yes. We maintain most flat roof systems, single ply, felt and others, and will flag anything that needs more than maintenance.
