Flat Roof Repair — Netherfield Road, Sheffield

Project Overview

British Builders completed a flat roof repair at a residential property on Netherfield Road in Sheffield. The issue was linked to water ingress affecting the bathroom below, so our team attended to inspect the roof surface, identify weak points and apply a protective fibre-based waterproof coating.

The work involved preparing the full flat roof area, clearing debris from the surface and gutter line, checking joints and vulnerable edges, and applying a durable roof coating to improve weather resistance and help prevent further leaks.

Scope of Work

• Inspected the flat roof area above the bathroom to locate signs of wear, cracking and possible water ingress
• Checked roof edges, seams, joints and gutter areas for vulnerable points
• Removed loose debris, moss, dirt and failed surface material from the roof
• Prepared the roof surface to improve adhesion of the new coating
• Applied a high-quality fibre-based waterproof roof coating across the affected flat roof area
• Focused additional coating around joints, seams, edges and known leak-prone sections
• Ensured full and even coverage across the roof surface
• Checked the coating finish for gaps, missed areas or weak coverage
• Cleared the working area and removed waste materials from site

Challenges & Solutions

• The leak was affecting the bathroom below, so the roof needed to be treated as a wider waterproofing repair rather than a small patch.
• The existing roof surface had visible ageing, surface cracks and loose material, requiring proper cleaning and preparation before coating.
• Extra attention was given to edges, seams and drainage areas to improve long-term protection against future water ingress.

Final Outcome

The flat roof was cleaned, prepared and fully coated with a fibre-based waterproofing system. The repaired surface now has improved protection against weathering and water ingress, helping to resolve the bathroom leak issue and extend the lifespan of the roof area.

The coating used comes with a 5-year manufacturer’s guarantee, giving the client additional reassurance after completion.
