Ponding and Blisters on Waterford Flat Roofs
Competitive Roofing, a family-run roofing company based in County Carlow, covers flat roof repairs in Waterford and across Leinster. The main warning signs on a flat roof are ponding, blistering and splits, and water still lying a day or two after rain shows the roof is not draining as it should.
What are the warning signs on a flat roof?
Standing water, blisters and splitting are the classic signs. They show up most on extensions, garages and dormers, where most flat roofs are. Flat roof repair at Competitive Roofing covers cracks, pooling, damaged membranes and leaks.
Yes, if it is still there a day or two after the rain has stopped. It means the fall is not taking water to the outlet, and standing water finds any weakness in the membrane. Dealt with early, it stays a repair rather than a rebuild.
How easy is it to replace a flat roof?
A small flat roof on an extension or garage is a straightforward job for an experienced roofer, often much quicker than a pitched roof. The condition of the deck under the old covering decides how much work is involved.
Why does a roofer offer masonry work?
Because roofs and masonry meet everywhere: chimneys, gables, parapets and abutments are all masonry. Competitive Roofing brings roofing and masonry together, offering professional brickwork and stonework including repairs, rebuilding and restoration.
Worn pointing, cracked bricks and faces blown by frost are the usual jobs. When a section is loose, leaning or flat roofer Dublin has lost its bond, it is taken down and rebuilt rather than patched. Both structural and decorative masonry are on the service list.
How often do flat roofs need replacing?
That varies with the material, the quality of installation and how well the roof drains, so it is better judged by condition than by a date. Repeated leaks and a spongy deck say more than the age of the roof.
Do replacement tiles have to match the old ones?
Get it replaced before the next spell of wet weather. One space in a slope exposes the underlay and gives the wind an edge to catch neighbouring tiles. Treat the path underneath as unsafe until the roof is checked.
They should, both for looks and for a proper fit. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles or slates are replaced by Competitive Roofing and matched to what is already there. The same profile and size keep the courses lying flat.
