Emergency Asphalt Roof Maintenance London
Asphalt roofs are durable, but when something goes wrong, it usually needs attention fast. A cracked or split asphalt surface, unaddressed storm damage or damaged flashing can allow water into your property within hours, leading to internal damage that can escalate quickly.
London Property Services provides emergency asphalt repairs across London, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For out-of-hours emergencies, we aim to attend within 2-4 hours when possible. For daytime callouts, we prioritise emergency work where possible. So, if you need emergency asphalt roof repairs or maintenance, call us, and we’ll dispatch a roofer as soon as possible.
When we arrive, our team carries out a thorough assessment of the damage and agrees on the most suitable course of action before proceeding. Where a full repair cannot be completed in a single visit, we’ll apply emergency weatherproofing to make your roof watertight and the property safe while the permanent repair is arranged.
Our emergency asphalt repairs include:
- Storm damage and wind-lifted sections
- Emergency waterproofing and make-safe visits
- Crack or split repair
- Water ingress through failed flashings or upstands
- Post-storm shingle and tile damage assessment
If you have an urgent asphalt roofing problem, act fast. Call our emergency line now or enquire and we will act as soon as possible.

Our asphalt roof repair services
Your needs for asphalt roof repairs may vary, but our expert team is here to help. An asphalt flat roof can take a lot of punishment from the elements, meaning a variety of problems could occur. Our team is therefore ready to be flexible to your requirements. Whilst an asphalt roof can last as long as thirty years, issues can arise. Our roof repairs for all types of asphalt roofs include, but are not limited to:

Mastic asphalt roof repairs in London
Mastic asphalt is a specialist roofing material that has been used on London’s flat roofs, balconies and roof terraces for over 100 years. Found on everything from Victorian commercial buildings to modern residential extensions, it remains one of the most durable flat roofing solutions available. Able to last more than 30 years when well-maintained and installed correctly, it’s a durable roofing solution for many property types.
Thanks to its application method, where it is poured and spread as a liquid before setting, it creates a seamless waterproof layer, making it highly resistant to water penetration. Occasionally, though, thermal cracking, surface oxidisation or poor installation can occur, leading to a need for specialist repair from a roofing contractor.
The team at London Property Services are experienced roofers and can conduct mastic asphalt roof repairs, including:
- Crack and split repair
- Surface oxidisation
- Skirtings and upstand repairs around parapets, pipes and roof edges
- Repairs to balconies and roof terraces
- Full section replacement where patch repair is no longer suitable
If your mastic asphalt roof is showing signs of wear, cracking, pooling water, or visible deterioration, contact our team for a free roof assessment and have our experts advise on whether repair or replacement is the right course of action.
Asphalt shingle roof repair
Asphalt shingles are one of the most widely used roofing materials on residential properties in London. Durable, cost-effective and easy to install, they provide an easy option for those needing a new asphalt roof. However, over time, the inconsistent London weather can cause shingles to deteriorate, leading to cracking, curling and vulnerability to water ingress.
Our team carries out asphalt shingle repairs across all property types in London. Whether you have a single damaged shingle after a storm or widespread loss over a larger area of your roof, we carefully assess the extent of the damage and recommend a cost-effective course of action, whether that be repair or replacement.
Common asphalt shingle issues we repair include:
- Cracked or split shingles
- Curled or lifted shingles caused by moisture or age
- Missing shingles
- Granule loss leading to exposed felt & accelerated wear
- Shingle leak repair around ridges, valleys and flashings.
If you have noticed deterioration in your asphalt shingle roof, speak to our team. We provide free roof surveys and assessments and can attend quickly across all London boroughs.


Asphalt roof waterproofing in London
A properly waterproofed asphalt roof is an important barrier against the elements. Unfortunately, over time, surface wear and poor maintenance can compromise its integrity, even if it was well-installed.
At London Property Services, we carry out asphalt roof waterproofing across London for residential, landlord and commercial properties.
Our waterproofing services include:
- Full surface waterproofing
- Localised waterproofing repairs around joints, edges and upstands
- Waterproof membrane application where wear is significant
- Preventive waterproofing as part of a planned maintenance programme
Whether you need emergency waterproofing following storm damage or a planned treatment to extend your roof’s lifespan, our team can assess and advise.
Solar-reflective painting for asphalt roofs in London
Solar-reflective coating is one of the most cost-effective treatments available for asphalt flat roofs. Flat roofs in London absorb significant heat during warmer months, which can lead to deterioration, such as cracking or splitting. A specialist solar-reflective paint reduces surface temperatures and slows deterioration, helping you benefit from your asphalt roof for longer.
Ideal for homeowners, landlords, and commercial property owners, solar-reflective paint helps protect a roofing investment and improve energy efficiency.
Our services include:
- Solar-reflective coating application
- Surface preparation
- Treatment of existing cracks and imperfections
Contact us to find out whether solar-reflective painting is suitable for your asphalt roof.

Asphalt roof maintenance & care
An asphalt roof can last as long as 25-30 years when well maintained, but neglect, poor installation or infrequent inspections can significantly shorten that lifespan. The good news is that most of the factors that cause premature asphalt roof deterioration are preventable with straightforward care.
At London Property Services, we use the latest technology and equipment for both the installation and repair of all types of asphalt roofs across the city. However, before it gets to that, there are some things you can do to enhance just how long your asphalt roof in London will last.
How to extend the life of your asphalt roof
- Regular cleaning: Remove branches, dirt and other moisture traps
- Gutter maintenance: Keep gutters clear and in good repair to prevent water from backing up and getting beneath the roofing material
- Moss and algae removal: Both cause progressive damage to asphalt surfaces and joins if left untreated
- Periodic inspections: Check around chimneys, valleys and vents for signs of rust, gaps or exposed material, particularly after periods of severe weather
- Tree management: Trim back overhanging branches to increase sunlight reaching the roof surface and reduce debris accumulation


When to call a professional
While routine cleaning and visual checks can be carried out by a competent person, some issues require professional attention. Contact our team if you notice:
- Cracking or bubbling on the asphalt
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Long-standing pooling of water
- Visible gaps or lifting around flashings, upstands or roof edges
- Moss or algae that returns quickly after cleaning
Catching these issues early is always cheaper than leaving them to develop. Our team offers free roof surveys across all London boroughs. If you are unsure about the condition of your roof, get your survey booked today. We’ll ensure you have a clear understanding of the best next steps.
