•

Felt roofing provides a practical and reliable solution for residential and commercial properties, offering affordability, resilience, and ease of maintenance.
The Most Common Causes of Leaks on Your Felt Roof:
• Incorrect Bonding or Layering of Membrane: Leaks often occur due to improper bonding or layering of the membrane during installation, leading to vulnerabilities in the roofing system.
• Penetration: Water penetration through defective joints can deteriorate adhesion between layers, resulting in potential leaks and water ingress.
• Ripping or Cracking of the Membrane: Damage such as ripping or cracking of the membrane can compromise the integrity of the felt roof, allowing water to seep through and cause leaks.
• Punctures to the Membrane: Punctures in the membrane, whether from sharp objects or wear and tear, create weak points that are susceptible to leaks and water damage.
Addressing these common issues promptly through proper maintenance and repairs can help prevent leaks and prolong the lifespan of your felt roof.

-
I have a leaky roof. What should I do?

How do I know it’s time to replace my roof?
The internet is the worst place to ask this question. Every website will give you different advice. Call our team and we will come buy and carry out a free roof check. We will advise you of any work that does need doing and whether this could be carried out as a repair or whether you need a full replacement.
-
What’s the best roofing material?
The best roofing material is dependent on the job in hand. A flat roof would not have tiles and a pitched roof would. All roof types require different materials. We can advise you of what type of material is best for the job in question and we only use the best roofing materials. A roof is only as good as the finish.
