Whether your detached garage roof is leaking in Guildford, an attached garage needs new waterproofing in Woking, or you're considering a garage roof replacement in Reigate or Epsom, contact us to discuss suitable options.
Garage roofs vary considerably in their materials and construction. Some need straightforward repairs, while others may require replacement coverings, repairs to the decking or attention to roof drainage.
Garage Roof Repairs for Surrey Homes
A leaking garage roof can damage stored belongings, electrical equipment, interior finishes and the building itself.
Many domestic garages use flat or shallow-pitched roofing systems that rely on suitable waterproofing materials and effective drainage.
As garage roofing ages, felt coverings can split, roof edges may deteriorate and drainage details can become less effective.
Superior Roof Care welcomes garage roofing enquiries from homeowners and landlords throughout Surrey, including properties with attached, detached and single garages.
Where the existing roof remains structurally sound, localised repairs may sometimes be suitable.
Signs Your Garage Roof Needs Attention
- Water dripping into the garage
- Damp patches on garage ceilings
- Felt roofing peeling or lifting
- Blistering in roofing membranes
- Water collecting around roof edges
- Leaks where the garage joins the house
- Soft or damaged roof decking
- Failed previous patch repairs
- Ageing corrugated roofing sheets
A garage roof should be assessed before selecting a repair or replacement system, especially where structural defects or hazardous materials may be present.

Tiled Roofing Surrey →Old Garage Felt Roof Leaking or Splitting?
Traditional felt roofing is found on many domestic garages throughout Surrey.
Over time, the waterproofing may develop splits, blisters, damaged joints or defects around roof edges.
A relatively small defect may sometimes be repaired where the surrounding felt and roof structure remain sound.
However, widespread failure, saturated roofing layers or damaged decking can make replacement a better long-term option.

Felt, EPDM Rubber or GRP Fibreglass for a Garage Roof?
The correct replacement material depends on the garage roof structure, waterproofing requirements, drainage and intended use.
Modern Felt Garage Roofing
Reinforced bituminous felt roofing systems can be suitable for many garage roofs when correctly specified and installed.
EPDM Rubber Garage Roofing
EPDM is a flexible synthetic rubber membrane available in large sheets, which can reduce the number of seams on appropriately sized garage roofs.
GRP Fibreglass Garage Roofing
GRP creates a rigid reinforced waterproofing layer that can work well on suitably prepared and stable roof decks.
Roof Decking & Insulation
A replacement covering may also require assessment of the roof decking, insulation and underlying structure, rather than simply covering the existing waterproofing.

Garage Roof Leaking Where It Joins Your House?
Attached garages can develop leaks around the junction between the garage roof and the main house wall.
These areas commonly require suitable flashing and waterproof upstands to prevent rainwater entering the building.
Leaks may arise from damaged flashing, deteriorating sealant, poor roof drainage or faults in the roof covering.
A proper assessment helps identify whether the problem originates from the garage roof, adjoining masonry or the roof junction.
Garage-to-House Leak Causes
- Damaged roof-to-wall flashing
- Failed waterproof upstands
- Cracked or defective roof coverings
- Water collecting near the wall
- Faulty drainage outlets
- Previous ineffective patch repairs

Water Pooling on Your Garage Flat Roof?
Flat roofs should be designed to direct rainwater towards suitable drainage points.
Some garage roofs develop persistent standing water because of blocked outlets, sagging decking or inadequate roof falls.
Water accumulation can place additional demands on the roof covering and expose weak joints or roof details.
Not every instance of temporary ponding indicates a roof failure, but persistent drainage problems should be investigated.
Possible Garage Roof Drainage Issues
- Blocked outlets
- Debris collecting on the roof
- Insufficient drainage falls
- Deflected roof decking
- Water trapped near upstands
- Damaged gutter connections
- Water remaining for prolonged periods
Replacing an Older Corrugated Garage Roof in Surrey?
Some older garages have corrugated roof sheets rather than felt, rubber or fibreglass roof coverings.
Certain older cement-based roofing sheets may contain asbestos, particularly on garages built or reroofed before asbestos was banned in the UK.
The material cannot be confirmed as asbestos-free simply by looking at it.
If asbestos is suspected, the roof must be assessed appropriately before any work that could disturb the sheets.
Specialist asbestos testing, removal or other controls may be necessary under applicable regulations.
Important Considerations
- Age of the existing garage roof
- Type of corrugated roof sheets
- Condition of roof fixings
- Possible asbestos-containing materials
- Existing roof support structure
- Safe removal and disposal requirements
- Weight of proposed replacement materials
Do not drill, cut, break, pressure-wash or disturb suspected asbestos roofing. Use an appropriately competent specialist.
Repair Your Garage Roof or Replace It?
Some garage roofs can be repaired economically, particularly where damage is confined to a small area.
Where roofing membranes have deteriorated widely, decking is damaged or leaks regularly return, replacement may be more suitable.
The overall condition of the existing roof is more important than age alone.
The proposed system should be compatible with the garage roof structure and drainage design.
Repairs May Be Suitable When
- Damage is confined to one area
- The surrounding membrane remains sound
- The roof decking is serviceable
- The defect can be accessed safely
Replacement May Be Considered When
- Waterproofing has failed widely
- Previous repairs repeatedly fail
- Roof decking is deteriorating
- Water is trapped beneath the covering
Garage Roof Suddenly Leaking After Heavy Rain?
Unexpected garage roof leaks can affect stored belongings, electrical equipment and the building interior.
If water is entering the garage, keep away from affected electrical fittings and avoid standing beneath visibly damaged roof areas.
Do not attempt to climb onto the garage roof, particularly if the roof is wet or its structural condition is uncertain.
