Flat roof repair, small area what expected costs? Roughly?

I know it's hard to say but perhaps flat roofs are very tricky with expensive materials or perhaps extremely easy to sort out... Area about average living room rug...

What is the roof covering at the moment? Mineral felt? Asphalt?!
How high is the roof? Can it be accessed from a ladder or will it need a scaffold?
Is the repair needed to a middle section or over an edge?
Could the timbers under the roof covering have been damaged?!

For a patch repair on an easily accessed roof probably about £250... or you might be able to do it yourself if you're handy and it's straightforward...

If the roof timbers are rotten/wet and need replacing then it might be a bigger repair than you thought... you don't want to leave rotten/wet timbers in situ because it will cause a bigger problem down the line.

A whole new flat roof for a standard garage sized roof where I am (South East) would probably be around £1500-2000- without insulation.

I hope that's helpful.

Wow that's extremely helpful thank you. Yes it's easy to access and probably half size of standard garage.

Wooden timbers rotting however maybe more of an issue. Thanks for that 💐💐

I had quotes for similar for a patch of between £400-1,500. Some of the roofers turning up with clearly lying and untrustworthy. All said similar things. I went with the one that was the cheapest as he seemed the most honest. That patch held up two years, as he said it would. I do need the whole roof replacing.
