Leaking flat roofs on garages, extensions and dormers traced and repaired across Newton Abbot and Kingsteignton.
Flat roof letting water in?
Ayre Roofing repair leaking flat roofs across Newton Abbot, Kingsteignton and the villages around: felt, EPDM rubber and GRP. We're six miles away in Chudleigh, so we can usually get out to look quickly.
On a flat roof, the water rarely comes in where you'd expect. It gets in at a lifted edge trim, behind a wall upstand, around a rooflight, or at an outlet that's blocked with leaves and moss so water sits on the roof. We find the real cause before we fix anything.
Honest about repair or replace
If the covering is sound apart from one spot, we repair it and you get a 1-year guarantee on the remedial work. If the felt is cracked all over or the deck has gone soft, we'll tell you a patch won't last and quote for a new flat roof instead.

Why flat roofs in Newton Abbot fail
A lot of the garages and extensions around Newton Abbot were roofed in felt decades ago. Felt hardens and cracks in the sun, then lets in water every winter. Add a few autumns of leaves in the outlet and the water ponds, finds a weak lap and gets into the deck. Catch it early and it's a repair. Leave it and the deck rots, and it becomes a new roof.
If you've got a damp patch on a garage or extension ceiling, or water sitting on the roof for days after rain, it's worth getting it looked at before winter.
Flat roof repairs in Newton Abbot: common questions
Can you patch my felt flat roof?
If the rest of the felt is sound, yes. If it's cracked and brittle all over, a patch won't last long and we'll tell you so.
Water sits on my flat roof. Is that a problem?
A little after rain is normal, but water that sits for days speeds up wear and finds any weak spot. Usually the fix is clearing outlets or improving the falls.
Can you repair a flat roof in winter?
Some repairs, yes, on a dry day. In wet weather we can make it watertight temporarily and come back for the permanent repair.
Do you repair commercial flat roofs?
Yes, on business units and commercial buildings as well as homes.
How much does a flat roof repair cost?
It depends on the size of the problem and the roof. We give a free, no-obligation quote once we've seen it.

“Undertook work as advised late 2023/early 2024 and right from the start Chris was proactive in keeping me up to speed with progress and requesting instruction when the inevitable snag was encountered. Site was left clean and tidy despite it being a fairly messy job! It's been 6 months now and no sign of any further leaks from the roof so I'm very happy with the outcome.”
“Very happy with my new garage roof. Everything was left very tidy.”
“Chris was very helpful in diagnosing the exact problem and then suggesting an alternative, cheaper, but equally good remedy to the problem.”
