If you need to make roof repairs quickly PermaRoof UK Emergency Roof Repair may be the product for you. The emergency roof repair can be applied to weathered asphalt and bituminous surfaces, concrete, brickwork, fibreglass, felt, metal (galvanised and ferrous), amongst other materials. Even if it rains after application, the waterproofing will not be affected.

We stock a range of excellent products that can make light work of a flat roof repair for DIY. Liquid PU coatings can provide a quick, emergency seal that is effective and long-lasting. Such roof repair systems are ideal for the DIY market, as they are easy to apply and cure quickly without professional assistance. EPDM rubber membrane is also straightforward to repair using adhesives and patches in a similar method to repairing a puncture on a bicycle wheel.

While these types of rubber roofing membrane repair are straightforward to carry out, it is important to remember that the seal must be watertight and the patches you have applied, perfectly adhered. Critical repairs to flat roofing must be carried out to a high-quality and if you aren’t sure you can create a perfect seal, it is wise to call in a professional, insured roofer to repair the membrane.

It is also worth reminding yourself that this is work at height, generally, even if on a single-storey garage. Falls from height are common in the DIY sector, and safety should always come first. If you aren’t confident working at height as a DIYer, realise your limits and call in a professional roofer to carry out your roof repair. An experienced roofer may not charge as much as you think for a simple repair to your rubber roof membrane. Bear in mind that an emergency, out-of-hours call out will cost more than a scheduled, quoted repair.

It is worthwhile keeping an eye on flat roofing around the home and outside buildings to avoid an emergency roof repair and the associated costs. A simple, visual inspection, particularly following inclement weather or storm conditions, can highlight areas that may require further inspection or attention.
