Flat Roof Repairs Falkirk – EPDM, Felt & Fibreglass Specialists

Flat roofs are common on garages, extensions, dormers, porches, and commercial buildings — but when a flat roof develops a leak, it can spread quickly. If you’re searching for flat roof repairs in Falkirk, Mastershield Roofing & Property Care provides expert assessment and repair across EPDM rubber roofs, felt systems, and fibreglass (GRP).

A flat roof doesn’t always need replacing. Many issues can be repaired cost-effectively if caught early — especially problems around edges, joints, flashing details, and drainage. We’ll inspect the roof, identify what’s causing the failure, and recommend the right repair approach to restore waterproofing and extend the roof’s lifespan.

Flat Roofing Systems Explained

Different flat roofs fail in different ways. Our team repairs and maintains:

EPDM rubber roofing

EPDM is durable and flexible, but repairs may be needed if seams fail, edges lift, or the roof is punctured.

Felt flat roofs

Traditional felt roofs can crack with age, fail at laps, or allow water ingress where detailing is poor.

Fibreglass (GRP) flat roofs

GRP systems are strong and long-lasting, but can develop issues around trims, joints, or if installation wasn’t done correctly.

Knowing your roof type helps identify the correct repair — and prevents temporary fixes that fail again.

Common Flat Roof Problems

If your flat roof is leaking or showing signs of failure, it usually comes down to one of these issues:

  • Pooling water due to poor drainage or sagging

  • Cracks, splits, or blistering in the membrane

  • Edge failure where the roof meets trims or walls

  • Failed joints or seams

  • Damage around roof penetrations (vents, pipes, skylights)

  • Upstand and flashing issues where flat roof meets a vertical surface

We’ll look at the symptoms and the underlying cause — not just the visible problem.

EPDM Flat Roof Repairs

EPDM repairs usually involve restoring integrity to:

  • Seams and joins

  • Edge trims and termination bars

  • Punctures or impact damage

  • Weak points around outlets and corners

Because EPDM is a system, repairs need to be compatible with the membrane. We use correct methods to reseal and secure EPDM so it stays watertight under Falkirk weather conditions.

Felt & Fibreglass Repairs

For felt roofs, repair options may include:

  • Patch repairs where the membrane is damaged

  • Resealing laps and details

  • Correcting edge trims and flashings

  • Improving drainage where water sits

For fibreglass roofs (GRP), repairs often focus on:

  • Rebuilding weak details

  • Correcting trim separation

  • Sealing joints properly

  • Repairing hairline cracks before they worsen

We’ll advise if a repair is worthwhile — or if replacement will be more cost-effective long term.

Repair or Replace? Making the Right Choice

  • A repair is usually ideal if:

    • The roof structure is sound

    • The damage is localised

    • The system still has good overall integrity

    Replacement may be recommended if:

    • The roof is at end-of-life across the whole surface

    • There are repeated leaks in multiple areas

    • The underlying deck/timbers are compromised

    • Poor installation means recurring failure points

    We’ll give you the pros and cons clearly so you can choose the best option.

What Our Customers Say

My ridge system was damaged in high winds. Jordan was found on checkatrade. Plenty of good reviews and local so I got in contact. He phoned me the same day and arranged a timely appointment. He attended and assessed the damage, making it watertight in the process, and provided a quote for the damage. He didn’t hassle or anything for the work and was very friendly and courteous throughout. Gave him a shout to confirm and he had completed in one day, the week of asking. Will definitely keep a note for the future should we get anymore roof damage.

Jordan reviewed and diagnosed our leak problem In the roof. In carrying out the work he identified some additional issues and showed us what he needed to do to fix it. His team were reliable, courteous and excellent at communicating what they were doing throughout the work. The work has been completed to an excellent standard. Quite a bit of debris was produced during the work but the team left our garden immaculate and free from any waste after they'd finished. I would certainly look Jordan up if we had need off any more work.

Choosing a construction firm is always tricky, as the reputation of quality and service across the industry is not good - there are a lot of unprofessional trades who do a sub-par job to make a quick buck. We got three quotes. Jordan at Mastershield was the most expensive of the three, but we chose him as quality is more important and he gave us the most confidence that he would do the job right. And we are very pleased with our choice. He took the time to do the job properly. He redid the whole roof and fixed other bits as came up too. The finish is very neat, and he tidied up immaculately.

I contacted Jordan as I needed repairs carried out on my old roof before winter truly sets in. On first contact he was polite and very helpful so we arranged for next day to carry out a survey. He pointed out where the repairs were needing carried out and even highlighted areas of concern which I am now booked in for next year to have rectified. Overall my experience with Jordan was next to none and I have recommended family and friends to use his cost effective reliable services ! Thanks again
