Stratford — E15
Flat Roof Repairs in Stratford E15
A flat roof in Stratford is usually doing a hard job: exposed to wind and rain, often on a rear extension or a block of flats, and expected to drain properly for decades. When it starts to leak, the repair is usually smaller than people fear, provided it is caught early. KC Roofing & Scaffolding repairs flat roofs across E15, from homes near Forest Gate and Maryland to flat-roofed premises around Canning Town and West Ham.
Most flat roof leaks come down to three things: water pooling where the roof has lost its fall, failing edges and upstands, or outlets that are blocked or cracked. Before we repair anything, we look at how water moves across the roof, because a patch on a roof that holds water will fail again.
Stratford's mix of extensions, blocks of flats and small commercial units means flat roofs come in many forms. Felt, liquid systems and GRP are all common. We identify the covering, check the base and recommend a repair that suits what is there, rather than one standard fix.
Repairs are quoted in writing before any work begins. Where a repair will not last, we say so and explain the options, including replacement, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.
Flat roof repairs we carry out in Stratford
Edge and upstand repairs
Failing trims, upstands and wall junctions are re-sealed or re-flashed, so water runs off rather than behind the edge.
Felt and liquid roof repairs
Torn, blistered or worn felt is cut out and replaced in sound material. Liquid-applied surfaces are cleaned, primed and re-coated where the coating has failed.
Ponding and drainage
Where water sits on the roof, we check whether the fall can be improved, and clear or replace outlets so the water leaves the roof.
Stratford flat roofs: access and planning
Blocks of flats and shared roofs
Access to communal flat roofs is agreed in advance with managing agents or residents, and we plan the work so it stays tidy and on schedule.
Extensions and rear additions
Many Stratford extensions have a flat roof beside a neighbour's wall. We take care with the junction and agree the work with you before we start.
Access for our own work
Any access equipment we need for our roofing work is provided in-house, for our own projects only. We do not offer scaffold hire on its own.

Flat Roof Repairs in Stratford — FAQs
Why does my flat roof leak only when it rains heavily?
Heavy rain tests the outlets and the lowest edges first. If water is backing up or sitting on the roof, a leak can appear only in those conditions. We check the drainage as part of the repair.
Is a flat roof repair better than replacing the roof?
If the covering is sound apart from a few failed areas, repair is usually the better value. If it is worn through across the roof, replacement is often the better option. We'll show you both before you decide.
Do you repair flat roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. We arrange access with managing agents or residents in advance, and we explain the work and timings before it starts.
Do I need to be at home during a flat roof repair?
Often not, if we have safe access to the roof. We agree the access arrangements when we book the work.
