Yes, in many cases a flat roof leak can be repaired without needing a full replacement. At DL Roofing, we assess the extent of the damage and carry out targeted repairs to fix splits, cracks, or punctures in the membrane. Whether it’s a felt, EPDM, or GRP flat roof, our Manchester-based team can often restore it quickly and cost-effectively—saving you the expense of a complete new roof when it’s not necessary.
