Trace the defect
Check how water is entering, whether it is travelling within the build-up and whether the visible leak is remote from the roof defect.

Commercial Roof Repair
Commercial roof repair should address the cause of water entry, not simply cover the visible symptom. Forti Nova helps assess the defect, select a compatible repair route, supply the appropriate system and appoint approved contractors where project delivery is required.

Direct answer
Commercial roof repair is targeted work intended to restore weather resistance where the wider roof remains serviceable. It may include membrane repairs, lap and fixing work, flashing repairs, drainage corrections, corrosion treatment or localised coating. Repeated or widespread defects may indicate refurbishment or replacement instead.
Before we recommend work
Inspect the roof before choosing a product.
The defect, roof condition and building use determine the work required. We do not choose a product before understanding the building.
Confirm compatibility
Identify the existing membrane, coating, metal finish or detail so the proposed repair does not create an adhesion or movement conflict.
Choose the right level of work
Separate a local repair from wider deterioration that would be better handled through refurbishment or replacement.
When this route fits.
- 01The defect is localised and the surrounding roof remains serviceable.
- 02The substrate can be prepared and a compatible repair detail is available.
- 03Drainage, movement and moisture conditions can be addressed within the repair scope.
When it does not.
- 01The roof build-up is saturated across a wide area.
- 02Structural decking or sheets have lost serviceable integrity.
- 03Repeated repairs are failing because the underlying system has reached the end of its useful service life.
