Hi, my dad has a flat roof on an extension, when some work was carried out, a pipe was taken out that went through the roof. The people who did it then put a patch over this hole. Its now leaking and my dad wants to know can it be patched up proffessionally or will be advisable to replace the whole roof?

Is it a felt roof?
In my opinion its not possible to get a ''permanent'' patch to an existing flat felt roof. Once the original felt has been disturbed thats it.
Dont get me wrong, You can patch it, and gain a watertight seal. But for how long.......who knows. It may last as long as the felts lifetime, But then again it may last 6-12 months.
