Flat Roof Maintenance Tips for Longer Life
Flat roofs are popular on extensions & garages, but they require care to last.
Keep gutters & outlets clear
Flat roofs rely on proper drainage. Clear leaves & debris regularly to prevent standing water, which leads to leaks.
Check for ponding water
Small puddles after rain are normal, but large areas of standing water mean you should call a roofer.
Inspect after storms
Look for cracks, blisters or loose seams — signs your flat roof needs attention.
Schedule professional checks
We recommend a professional inspection every few years. At Hewitson Roofing, we specialise in felt & EPDM flat roofs.
