Send photos and a few details for a written quote. ## Flat roof services in Brantford Much of Brantford's housing is older, and older houses often have flat roofs over rear additions, porches and garages. Typical signs are a stain on the kitchen ceiling, water at a skylight or a roof with several worn layers. We find where the water gets in, fix that spot and tell you how much life the rest of the roof has. When a roof is past repair, we [replace it](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/services/flat-roof-replacement/) with EPDM, TPO, PVC or modified bitumen, and fix the [drainage](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/services/roof-drains-and-scuppers/) so water does not sit on the new membrane. Owners and property managers also book [inspections](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/services/flat-roof-inspection/) and [maintenance visits](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/services/flat-roof-maintenance/). ## Foundry-era streets and newer plants in Brantford Brantford grew after the railway arrived in 1854 and became a farm-implement city. Cockshutt and Harris opened in the 1870s, and Massey-Harris, Verity Plow and S.C. Johnson followed. The 1980s closures hit hard, and Highway 403 reached the city in 1997. Procter & Gamble and Ferrero chose Brantford in 2004. Census data shows about 63% of homes were built before 1981, and a third before 1961. That makes Brantford a city of older brick houses and workshops. Streets around Dalhousie and George have older homes where flat roofs over rear additions and porches are a common repair. Downtown Colborne Street holds commercial blocks with flat roofs behind brick fronts. The old foundry and implement plants were built large and low, and many such buildings still have flat roofs. Newer plants and warehouses near Highway 403 have membrane roofs, while the aging stock needs closer attention to seams, drains and flashings. ## Brantford weather and your flat roof Ontario's Building Code sets the climate values used to design roofs in each municipality.

Prices in Brantford depend on access, layers to remove and the membrane. See [pricing](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/pricing/). **What causes most flat roof leaks in Brantford?** Details more than the open membrane: seams, parapet and wall flashings, drains, vents and skylights. See [flashing leaks](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/problems/flashing-leaks/) and [clogged drains](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/problems/clogged-drains/). **Do I need a permit to replace a flat roof in Brantford?** Check with the Brantford building department. Replacing the membrane alone is often treated differently from structural work, a new rooftop deck or added weight. See [re-roofing permits in Ontario](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/guides/re-roofing-permits-ontario/). **My Brantford house is older. Can the flat roof go on over the old one?** Sometimes one new layer can go over one old layer, but on older houses we often find two or three layers already, wet insulation or soft deck boards. Then a full tear-off is the safer choice. See [repair or replace](https://flat-roof-repair.ca/guides/repair-or-replace-flat-roof/). **Do you also work near Brantford?** Yes, including Cambridge, Woodstock, Hamilton and the rest of southwestern Ontario.
