We provide free quotations and explain any proposed work before it is agreed. You can also explore our dedicated Barnes roofing and Chiswick roofing pages for local details.
Warning signs can include recurring damp patches, blistering or splits in the covering, standing water, loose edge details and leaking roof outlets. The first step is to identify whether the problem is local or affects the roof as a whole.
We work with traditional three-layer felt systems where suitable for the roof and project. Good preparation, correct laps, weatherproof junctions and finishing details are essential to lasting performance.
A small damaged area may be repairable if the surrounding material and deck remain sound. If the covering is generally worn or water has affected underlying materials, replacement may be more appropriate. We explain options following an assessment.
A flat roof can leak at its abutments, upstands, flashings, outlets and perimeter trims as well as through the main covering. We look at these details when assessing the whole problem.
Sometimes. The answer depends on the extent of damage, condition of the covering and any water damage beneath it.

A flat roof should have enough fall to guide water towards its outlets, with sound waterproofing at edges, upstands and joins to walls. Leaks may come from a split felt seam, an outlet problem, trapped water or failed detailing around a skylight. Locating the weak point can help distinguish a localised repair from a more extensive replacement.
Where an existing covering is brittle, blistered or repeatedly leaking, a replacement may be more sensible than another patch. We discuss traditional three-layer felt roofing, edge details and the suitability of the underlying structure before quoting. Associated gutter and rainwater drainage problems should be addressed as part of the overall repair plan.
No. Some isolated defects are repairable, but the covering's age and general condition matter. For other defects, browse roof repairs or ask about a suitable free drone roof inspection to identify visible issues.
A watertight flat roof relies on more than the visible felt surface. Edge trims, outlets, rooflight details and the way the covering meets brickwork all matter. The underlying deck also needs to be sound before a new system is installed. Persistent water retention can point to an outlet or fall problem that should not simply be hidden with another layer.
Can you patch a felt roof? Some isolated defects can be repaired with suitable materials, but extensive wear, poor substrate condition or repeated failures may justify replacement.
Is water standing on my roof always a leak? Not automatically. Persistent standing water deserves checking because it can expose vulnerable details and may indicate poor drainage.
Can a felt roof go over an extension? Flat-roof work on suitable extensions is common, but the proposed covering must match the existing structure, falls, upstands and relevant requirements.
We welcome enquiries for felt-roof replacement, flat-roof leak repairs and new flat coverings in Barnes, Chiswick and surrounding West London. A quotation should distinguish repairs to the waterproofing from any necessary deck or drainage work.
