Hot Melt Roofing Repair
Hot melt rarely fails in the open field, when it does leak, it's almost always at a detail or where ballast has damaged the surface.
Because hot melt membrane is fully bonded and seamless, genuine failures in the open field of the roof are uncommon. When leaks do occur, they're most often at upstands, outlets or other detailing, or from physical damage where ballast, paving or foot traffic has disturbed the membrane.
Sherford Roofing repairs hot melt roofing across Plymouth and Devon, working through any ballast or paving to access and correctly re-weld the membrane where it's actually failed.
Our Process
Locate the Fault
We identify the likely leak area, often at a detail or junction, before disturbing ballast or paving unnecessarily.
Access the Membrane
Ballast, substrate or paving is carefully removed from the affected area.
Repair the Membrane
The hot melt membrane is heated and re-worked to properly fuse the repair into the existing system.
Reinstate
Ballast, substrate or paving is reinstated once the membrane repair is confirmed sound.
Hot Melt Roofing Repair FAQs
Almost always at a detail, an upstand, outlet or junction, rather than in the open field of the membrane, since the fully bonded, seamless nature of hot melt makes open-field failure uncommon.
Yes, in most cases, we work to identify the likely leak area first and only remove ballast or paving from that section rather than the whole roof.
Yes, hot melt is re-heated during repair, which allows the new material to properly fuse with the existing membrane rather than just sitting on top of it.
