Low-pitched roofs protected at their vulnerable points
Drainage assessed
We check falls and outlets before recommending the roofing approach.

Raised junctions are considered alongside the main roof covering.
Lead repairs available
We can repair adjoining flashing where it forms part of the defect.
Flat roof details that keep water moving out
We travel from Exeter to inspect and complete domestic roofing work at properties in Cullompton. Flat roof performance depends on connected details rather than the covering alone. The fall should guide rain towards clear outlets, while upstands protect the points where the roof meets walls and other raised surfaces. Edge trims, penetrations and lead flashings also need to keep water from passing behind the system. We assess these areas together when investigating leaks or planning a replacement, helping us identify whether one failed junction or broader deterioration is responsible.
Repair or installation based on the existing condition
A sound local repair may deal with an isolated crack, seam or flashing fault. Where the covering or deck has failed more widely, replacing the affected section or installing a new system may provide the better result. We explain the practical difference after inspecting the roof and its access. Selected materials for flat roofing can include guarantees of up to 20 years, depending on the specified product. For work in Cullompton, your free quotation identifies the proposed system, drainage details and any scaffolding required to reach the area safely.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a flat roof leak near a wall junction?
The upstand or flashing may have split, lifted or separated from the main covering. We inspect both materials and the way they meet before recommending a repair to the failed detail.
Can poor drainage be corrected during flat roof work?
It may be possible to improve the fall, outlet arrangement or low sections, depending on the deck and surrounding levels. We assess the existing build-up before explaining what can reasonably be changed.
When does a flat roof qualify for a 20-year guarantee?
Guarantees of up to 20 years apply to selected systems and materials. We confirm the available term for the product specified in your quotation rather than applying one guarantee to every flat roof.
