Garage roof repair and replacement in Manchester

Garage roofs get less attention than the house roof, and they fail in their own ways. A felt roof splits and lets water through, a sheet roof cracks or lifts in the wind, and a leaking roof soon means damp tools, stored furniture and rotting timber.

ADI Roofing Team Manchester can repair a garage roof where the damage is limited, and replace it when it is not. That covers flat garage roofs, pitched garage roofs and single-storey roofs on outbuildings, with the guttering and edges finished at the same time.

If your garage has a flat roof, the flat roofing page explains the coverings in more detail.

WHY GARAGE ROOFS FAIL

GARAGE ROOF PROBLEMS

The usual reasons a garage roof starts to let water in.

01

A split or blistered felt roof

Old felt cracks as it ages, especially along seams and at the edges.

02

A soft or sagging roof deck

Timber boards that have been wet for a long time lose strength and start to sag.

03

Cracked or lifted roof sheets

Corrugated sheets crack, slip out of position or lose their fixings.

04

Slipped tiles on a pitched garage

Tiles that have slipped, broken or blown off, and a perished underlay beneath.

05

Blocked or broken guttering

Water spilling down the walls instead of into a downpipe.

06

Damp and condensation inside

Wet walls, damp stored goods or a musty smell point to a roof or gutter problem.

THE WORK

REPAIR OR REPLACE YOUR GARAGE ROOF

Small garage roofs are often straightforward, but the right answer depends on the condition of the roof.

Garage roof repair

Local splits, failed edges, loose sheets and slipped tiles can often be dealt with without replacing the whole roof.

Flat garage roof replacement

The old covering comes off, the deck is checked and repaired, and a new covering is fitted with proper falls, edge trims and outlets.

Pitched garage roof replacement

New battens, underlay and tiles on a sound roof structure, with ridge, verges and guttering renewed as required.

Guttering and fascias

A new garage roof is a good moment to renew tired guttering and boards. See gutters, fascias and soffits.

KNOW BEFORE YOU START

GARAGE ROOF OPTIONS

The type of garage roof you have decides the options.

Repair what you have

Worth considering when the damage is local and the rest of the roof and deck are sound.

Re-cover a flat roof

A new flat roof covering gives a fresh watertight surface, once the deck underneath has been checked.

Replace a pitched roof

New underlay, battens and tiles on a pitched garage roof, with the structure repaired where needed.

Old corrugated sheet roofs

Some older corrugated cement sheets contain asbestos. Do not drill, break or scrub them. Get advice before any work.

07518 344580

Can a garage roof be repaired, or does it need replacing?

If the damage is local and the deck beneath is sound, a repair can be enough. If the covering is cracking across the whole roof or the boards are soft, replacement is usually the better choice.

How can I tell if my garage roof contains asbestos?

Older corrugated cement sheet roofs sometimes do. You cannot tell by looking. Do not drill, break, sand or pressure-wash them, and get advice from a specialist before any work.

Do you repair garage roofs in Manchester?

ADI Roofing Team Manchester repairs and replaces garage roofs in Manchester. Call 07518 344580, say whether the roof is flat or pitched and describe the problem.

What is the best covering for a flat garage roof?

There is no single best option. EPDM, GRP and felt systems are all used, and the right one depends on the size and shape of the roof and its condition.

Can a garage roof be insulated?

Yes, particularly if the garage is used as a workshop or is being converted. Tell ADI how you use the space so it can be considered in the roof build-up.
