Flat roof repairs in Rusholme for extensions, dormers and more
Behind many of Rusholme's Victorian terraces there's a flat roof: over a rear kitchen extension, a bathroom added decades ago, or a dormer built to squeeze an extra room into the loft. These are often the first part of the house to leak. We handle flat roof repairs in Rusholme and full replacements in modern materials.
Ponding water, blistered felt, cracks along the edge or a leak around a roof light are the usual warning signs. Some can be repaired; others mean the covering has had its day.
We work with EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt. Quotes are free, we're fully insured, and all work is guaranteed.

Flat roofing options in Rusholme
EPDM rubber
A single sheet of rubber membrane with very few joints, well suited to small extensions.
GRP fibreglass
Seamless, hard-wearing finish laid in place, ideal for dormers and roofs with foot traffic.
Torch-on felt
Multi-layer felt system, a practical choice for garages and larger flat areas.
Flat roof repairs
Splits, blisters, failed edges and leaking upstands repaired where the deck is still sound.
Flat roofs behind Rusholme's terraces
Rusholme's terraced streets are packed with rear additions, and on the larger villas around Victoria Park you'll find flat-roofed bays, extensions and dormers. Many of these were covered in older felt that has gone brittle. Where a flat roof meets the slate main roof or a wall, the upstand and flashing detail matters as much as the covering itself.
We fit and repair flat roofs across M14, including Fallowfield, Victoria Park, Longsight, Moss Side and Ardwick, and we also cover flat roofs over shops and commercial units. From our Manchester base it's around 2 miles to Rusholme, which keeps call-outs straightforward. For new dormers, check planning with Manchester City Council first, particularly in a conservation area.
Repair or replace? How we decide
If the deck underneath is firm and the problem is local, such as a split or a failed edge, a repair is often fine. If the deck feels soft, there are leaks in several places, or the felt is cracked all over, replacing the roof is usually better value.
We'll check the deck and the details at a free survey, then quote for the right option. A typical extension roof replacement is a short job, and we'll confirm timings in writing.
Flat roof questions in Rusholme
Water sits on my kitchen extension roof after rain. Is that a problem?
Small puddles that dry within a day or two are common. Large pools that stay put suggest the deck has sagged or the falls are wrong. Standing water speeds up wear on the covering. When we replace a flat roof, we can build in better falls so it drains properly.
Which flat roof material is best for a small rear extension?
EPDM rubber is often a good fit because it can be laid in a single sheet with no seams. GRP is a strong alternative, especially if you'll walk on it. Felt suits larger or budget-conscious jobs. We'll explain the trade-offs for your roof.
My dormer leaks where it meets the slate roof. Can that be fixed?
Yes. Leaks there are often caused by worn lead flashing or soakers at the junction rather than the flat roof covering itself. We'll check the flashing, the cheeks of the dormer and the flat roof to find the actual entry point.
Can you replace a flat roof on a shop in Rusholme?
Yes. We carry out commercial flat roofing as well as domestic. We'll plan the work to keep disruption to your business as low as we can, and quote clearly before starting.
Do you need to take the whole roof off to fix a leak?
Not always. If the deck is sound, a targeted repair can work. If the timber deck has become wet and soft, it will need replacing, otherwise any new covering won't last. We'll show you what we find.
Can you add a roof light to a flat roof?
Often, yes, especially when the roof is being replaced. Roof lights must be properly upstand-detailed and sealed into the new covering. We'll advise whether your roof structure suits it.
