Replacing an Existing Flat Roof
Your Old Flat Roof Won’t Last Forever – But How Do You Know if it’s Time to Replace?
It’s a common question:
“How do I know when my old flat roof has had its day?”
And let’s be honest – it’s not easy to get a straight answer.
Ask a cobbler if you need new shoes, and he’s bound to say “YES!” – so if your roof can hold for a few more years, can you trust a roofer to tell you so?
Well, it depends on who you speak to.
The rogue traders and cowboys who give flat roofing a bad name will happily rip out a roof that could have been repaired – and leave you with a flimsy replacement that will almost certainly fail within 5-10 years (if not sooner).
Talk to a reputable roofer though, and you should get the true story:
• What’s wrong with the roof?
• Can it be repaired?
• How long will it last?
• And what will happen if the problem goes untreated?
Certainly, that’s how we work at Proactive Flat Roofing – going above and beyond the ethical standards set down by the industry to make sure you take the next step with both eyes open.

So does your flat roof need attention?
Flat roofing problems can fester for years before there’s a visible sign, like leaking water. So by the time you notice, the problem could be well-advanced. You might find the water has been rotting the structural deck, doing irreversible damage.
In other words, a small sign could point to serious risk.
- So you should get in touch with us straight away – if:
- You see cracks in the roof, or the covering is damaged.
- Water is leaking through the ceiling.
- The walls appear damp, or there are signs of black mould and spores.
It starts with a free survey
One of our flat roofing experts will take a look at the roof, inside and out. They’ll check the structural deck, insulation and waterproofing layer to find the cause of the problem – then write up a report that sets out your options clearly, in plain English.
If we can repair it, and extend its life for a few years, we’ll tell you so – and give you a timescale for replacement, so you can plan it into your budget.
