Flat Roofing in Brighton
Leaks below a Brighton extension or dormer flat roof can begin at an outlet, edge or wall junction even when the main surface appears intact.
Flat roof leaks and replacements in Brighton
A flat roof relies on a sound deck and a route for rainwater to leave. On a Brighton extension, dormer or garage, the material at upstands, door thresholds and outlets can be as important as the open roof area. We check where water collects and whether it can be reaching beneath the covering.
GRP, EPDM and felt each need different detailing and preparation. The existing deck, falls, insulation and access determine whether a repair is sensible or a replacement covering is needed. A quote should describe the perimeter, outlets and junctions as well as the main surface.
Brighton and nearby areas
Brighton properties range from seafront terraces to homes towards the Downs. Around a leak, we check whether water is coming from a chimney, exposed verge or gutter before making a local repair.

Questions about flat roofing in Brighton
Does pooling water mean my Brighton flat roof needs replacing?
Not by itself. The falls, outlet and condition of the covering and deck should be checked together. A local drainage fault can call for different work from a failed roof system.
Can a flat-roof leak be repaired at a wall junction?
A local repair may work if the surrounding covering and deck remain sound. Failed upstands or hidden moisture can make a wider renewal more appropriate.
