A flat roof that ponds after every shower. A felt garage roof that has split along the seams. A kitchen extension with a damp patch creeping across the ceiling. Flat roofs fail more often than pitched ones, and Leeds weather does not help.
AntiAqua Roofing repairs, replaces and installs flat roofs across Leeds in GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and torch-on felt. We have been doing it since 2010, from our base in Kirkstall, and we will recommend the system that suits your roof, not the one that is easiest for us.

Flat Roof Repair Leeds
Most flat roof leaks start at a detail, not in the middle of the roof: a lifted edge trim, a cracked upstand against the house wall, a blocked outlet, or a seam that has opened up. We find the detail and fix it rather than smearing sealant over the symptom.
Flat roof repairs we carry out:
- Leak detection and patching: tracing water entry points and sealing them properly
- Felt roof repairs: torch-on patches, seam repairs and re-dressing edges on existing felt roofs
- EPDM and membrane repairs: patching splits, re-bonding lifted sections and renewing upstands
- GRP repairs: re-laminating cracked areas and worn trims
- Ponding and drainage: adding falls, clearing or moving outlets so water leaves the roof
- Edge details: fixing drip trims, verge trims, flashings and abutments where the flat roof meets the wall
If the roof is near the end of its life, we will say so rather than take your money for a repair that will not last the winter.

Flat Roof Replacement Leeds
When repairs are no longer viable, we strip the old covering and start again:
- Full strip and re-roof: old covering off, deck inspected, new waterproofing laid
- Deck repairs: rotten boards and joists replaced before anything goes on top
- Insulation upgrades: a warm-roof build-up that meets current building regulations, which makes a real difference to a kitchen or bedroom extension
- New outlets and falls: so the finished roof actually drains
- Overlay options: where the existing roof is sound and dry, a new membrane over the top can be the sensible choice
For extensions, new builds and loft conversions we design and install the flat roof from scratch, working with your builder.
How a flat roof replacement works with us:
- Free survey: we check the covering, the deck, the falls and the details, and look inside for damp.
- Written quote: system recommended, build-up explained, everything included listed.
- Strip and inspect: old covering off, deck checked, anything rotten shown to you before we go further.
- Install: insulation if specified, new deck boards where needed, then the GRP, EPDM or felt system with new trims and flashings.
- Sign-off: water test, site cleared, guarantee paperwork handed over.
Most domestic flat roofs are finished in 1-3 days, weather permitting.

GRP Fibreglass
A seamless, hard-wearing finish laid wet on site, so there are no joints to fail. Good for complex shapes, dormers and roofs people walk on, such as balconies. Needs a dry day to lay.
EPDM Rubber
A single sheet of synthetic rubber bonded to the deck, often with no seams at all on a domestic roof. Flexible, so it copes with movement and temperature swings, and it can be laid in cooler weather. The most popular choice for extensions and garages across Leeds.
Torch-On Felt
The traditional three-layer system, still the most economical option and a good match when you are replacing an existing felt roof on a garage or outbuilding. Modern high-performance felts last far longer than the felt of twenty years ago.
Garage Roofs
Garage roofs are the flat roofs we replace most often in Leeds. Corrugated sheets, old felt and asbestos-cement roofs on 1960s and 70s garages in Seacroft, Middleton, Garforth and Pudsey all reach the end of their life at about the same time. We replace them in felt, EPDM or new corrugated sheeting, and we can arrange safe removal of asbestos-cement sheets through a licensed contractor.
Flat Roofs Across Leeds
Flat roofs are everywhere in Leeds once you look: the rear extensions on terraces in Headingley and Armley, the garages and porches on the 1930s semis in Roundhay and Cross Gates, the dormers on loft conversions in Horsforth and Chapel Allerton, and the shop and workshop roofs in Hunslet and Holbeck. We cover every LS postcode from Kirkstall.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions About Flat Roofs in Leeds
Your Leeds Flat Roofing Questions Answered
Q: How long does a flat roof last?
A: It depends on the system and how well the details were done. Modern GRP and EPDM roofs are designed to last decades; traditional felt less, though modern high-performance felts have closed much of the gap. Poor detailing at edges and outlets is what shortens the life of any of them, which is why we spend most of our time on the edges.
Q: How much does a new flat roof cost in Leeds?
A: Size, system, how much deck repair is needed, whether insulation is being added and access all affect the price. A single garage roof in felt and a large warm-roof extension in GRP are very different jobs. We survey free and give you a fixed written price.
Q: Can you repair my flat roof or does it need replacing?
A: If the covering is generally sound and the problem is at one detail, a repair is usually right. If the covering is brittle, blistered across large areas, or the deck underneath is soft, replacement is the better value. We will tell you which, and why.
Q: Which is better, GRP or EPDM?
A: Both are excellent when fitted properly. GRP gives a seamless, rigid finish and suits awkward shapes and roofs you walk on. EPDM is flexible, quick to lay and tolerates cooler weather. We will recommend one based on your roof, not on habit.
Q: Do you replace garage roofs?
A: Yes, including corrugated and asbestos-cement garage roofs. Asbestos-cement sheets are removed by a licensed contractor before we fit the new roof.
Q: Do you do emergency flat roof repairs?
A: Yes. A split or lifted flat roof can let in a lot of water quickly. Ring 0113 518 1106 or 0778 341 3300 any time and we aim to be with you within 2-4 hours. See our emergency roofer page.
Q: Do I need building regulations approval for a new flat roof?
A: Replacing more than a quarter of a flat roof usually brings it under building regulations, mainly for insulation. We build to meet them and can advise on what Leeds City Council will expect.
