Signs You May Need
Garage Roof Repair
Not every garage roof problem needs a full replacement, in many cases a repair job might be the best and most cost-effective route forward. If the damage is limited to one area and the rest of the roof is in a suitable condition then a repair job may be advised depending on your goals.
Here are some signs to look out for to see if your garage roof might require a repair job:
If you notice any of these problems with your garage, we definitely recommend you get in touch with an expert to assess it. Failure to act quickly could lead to the damage spreading, creating a much more expensive job and potentially turning a simple repair job into a full roof replacement!
Replacements
Garage Roof
Replacements in Braintree
A garage roof replacement is often the best choice when the existing roof has reached the end of its life or it has widespread damage.
Some perks of installing a new garage roof:
Before starting any job, we always perform our due diligence through thoroughly inspecting the roof structure and checking for any signs of rot and movement or any other structural damage. We do this to ensure the new roof is being installed on and has a strong foundation which will give it the longest lifespan possible.
Flat Garage
Replacements
Flat garage roofs are very common across Essex. They are practical, however they are often subject to wear and tear due to the fact that rain water tends to collect on them and sit on the surface.
Common flat garage roof problems include:
Flat Garage Repairs
If you are unsure whether your flat garage roof requires a repair or a full roof replacement, we will be more than happy to advise. This typically depends on whether the roof is damaged in one area or the roof covering has issues in several different places.
We replace older flat garage roofs with modern materials that are much more durable and better suited to the wet UK weather. The key is in using quality materials and installing the roofing system properly so water can drain away properly.
Not sure whether you need a repair or a full replacement? Book a free inspection or simply get on a call with a member of our team and we would be happy to advise.
Tiled Garage Roofs
Garages with pitched tiled roofs need maintenance when tiles crack, slip or become loose. We can help with tiled garage roof repair and replacement work, including:
Metal Garage Roofs
Garages with metal roofing sheets are strong and practical but they are not without their problems and downhalls. These types of roofing systems over time suffer from rust, loose fittings and issues with leaking. Our team are comfortable working with metal roofs and can advise on replacement (or repair) options.
In some cases, small faults can be fixed in a very short space of time however iIn other cases the metal sheets may need to be replaced. This is especially true if there is widespread rust or water is getting into the garage across several different areas. When it comes to metal garages, expert installation is key to avoiding expensive repairs in the future.
New Garage Roof
Installation
If your garage roof is too damaged and is beyond repair, or you simply want to upgrade an old roof, we can install a new garage roof that suits your vision and your budget.
The right roof for you will depend on several items including:
Different roofing systems are right for different use cases i.e. a garage used for storage may need a simple but strong weatherproof roof. However a garage used for a gym may require additional considerations around insulation and ventilation. Our team can lay out what option will be best for your use case.

Do I need planning permission to replace my garage roof?
Its safe to assume you do not if the new roof is of similar size, height and general appearance to the old one. Its when you are planning to increase the dimensions significantly that you might run into problems. Listed buildings and conservation areas may also have extra rules so this is also something to bear in mind. It is best to check with the local council if you are unsure.
What is the 10 year rule for garage conversion?
The 10 year rule is often linked to planning enforcement. For garage conversions, whether this will be an issue will depend on how the garage has been used and when the work was done & the planning rules at the time. If you are converting a garage/ changing its use its best to get proper planning advice and ensure its okay with the council before starting the works.
How much would it cost to replace a garage roof?
This all depends on several factors such as the size of the garage, the type of roof, the materials used, and the condition of the structure underneath to name a few. As you might expect, a small flat garage roof will usually cost far less than a large tiled roof project. We provide inspections and clear & transparently-priced quotes free of charge before any work is agreed.
Can a garage roof be repaired instead of replaced?
In many cases garage roofs can be replaced providing that the damage is limited and is not widespread across the roof. Typical issues that can be fixed include small leaks, broken tiles, loose flashing etc. Its when the roof has widespread damage, repeated leaks, rotten boards etc. that a full garage roof replacement makes more sense and would offer better value in the long run.
How long does a garage roof replacement take?
Most of the time these can be completed within a few days (depending on the size and style of roof). Flat roofs are quicker to replace than tiled roofs. Something that to bear in mind is that poor weather conditions can slow roofing projects down as the workers need safe and suitable conditions to operate in.
How do I know if my garage roof is leaking?
Look for water marks, damp patches, hearing or seeing drips during the rain, mould, musty smells, swollen boards etc. On the outside of the garage you may see cracks, loose tiles, split felt or rust - these are all signs of a leak. If you notice any of these its worth getting an expert opinion.
