Flat roof repairs and replacement in Eccles
Plenty of Eccles terraces have a flat roof tucked away somewhere: over a rear kitchen, a bathroom extension, a bay window or a dormer. Our flat roofs in Eccles service repairs and replaces them using EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or torch-on felt.
Flat roofs fail at the edges and junctions as often as in the middle. Where a flat roof meets a period wall, the upstand and the lead flashing over it need careful detailing, because that's where most leaks start.

Flat roofs on Eccles homes
Eccles' Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have flat-roofed rear extensions, and some bays have flat tops rather than slate. Monton's period semis may have flat-roofed dormers or garages. All of these meet traditional slate roofs and old brickwork somewhere, and getting that junction right matters as much as the covering itself.
We repair and replace flat roofs across M30, including Monton, Patricroft, Winton, Peel Green, Barton and Worsley. From our Manchester base it's around 4 miles to Eccles, which keeps call-outs straightforward. For a new dormer or extension, check with Salford City Council about planning first.
Signs your flat roof needs work
Water that's still sitting on the roof days after rain, cracks, blisters, lifted edges, chippings in the gutter and damp on the ceiling below all point to a problem. On rear extensions, damp where the extension meets the house is especially common.
We'll inspect the covering, edges, upstands and deck, then advise whether a repair or a replacement is better value. A small extension roof is often re-covered in a day or two, weather permitting.
Flat roof FAQs for Eccles
Which material suits a rear extension on an Eccles terrace?
For a simple rectangular roof, EPDM rubber is a strong choice because it's usually laid as one sheet with almost no joints. GRP suits roofs with rooflights or awkward shapes and takes light foot traffic. Torch-on felt is a solid, cost-effective option. We'll recommend one after seeing the roof.
Can a flat-topped bay roof be replaced?
Yes. Flat bay roofs are small but sit right above the front window, so leaks show quickly. We often use GRP on bays because it can be shaped neatly to the edges, and we renew the flashing where the bay meets the main wall at the same time.
Why does my extension leak where it meets the house?
Usually the upstand or the flashing above it has failed. The covering is turned up the wall, and lead or a cover flashing is set into the brickwork over it. If that lead has split or the pointing has gone, water runs down behind. We renew the junction properly rather than sealing over it.
Can I insulate my flat roof when it's replaced?
Yes, with a warm roof build that adds insulation above the deck. It raises the roof slightly, so we check the height of the edges, upstands and any windows above before recommending it. On a heated kitchen extension it can make a noticeable difference.
Is it worth repairing an old felt roof?
If the problem is a single split or a lifted edge and the rest of the felt is sound, a repair can be good value. If it's cracked all over, has been patched many times or the deck feels soft, replacing it will save money over the next few years.
Do you repair flat dormer roofs?
Yes, including the edges and the junctions with the main slate roof, which are the usual weak points. Dormer roofs are small but awkward to reach, so we plan access carefully and include it in the written quote. That keeps the price clear from the start.
