New flat roof leaking

Anonymous user 28 February 2024 - 3.25 PM

Me and my neighbors had our flat roof done together as was told that it could be fitted with just one piece or fibber so no seams We were happy but on the day he changed it after starting work and said he had to do it in two pieces (did question him he said it would be to heavy to carry it on the goof in one ) . He did my property first back and front as we goin away for wkend on return on Monday all work done both properties On that wkend weather was bad and on the Monday night when gointo bed our bedroom roof was leaking all over the bed everywhere ,our roof leaked in front next doors leaked in the back We immediately got hold of the builder after a bit of persuading he came out and made good for that evening. Early next came back and put another piece of rubber over joint and sealed it with a heat gun Me and our neighbors told him our concerns he said all should be ok but to be honest I'm not sure and am now worried that after heavy rain ,which we have not had yet that it will happen again so at the moment have got a very horrible looking ceilin as am afraid to get don incase Is ther anyway I can get this checked out many thanks courty 1

hi this doesnt sound good has he used rubber or a bitumen based felt, i would insist on him going back up there and taking pictures for you apprasial, if he refused then call and independent roofer give you a report of the roof with pictures, no flat roof should leek as soon qs its been done and if he has used rubber the burnt a bitumen back felt onto the join then he is a cowboy, hope this helps
