Common Problems
Much of our work involves the repair or replacement of existing flat roofs, many of which fail after less than a year. This is usually down to poor workmanship and inexperience by 'jack of all trades' or poor materials being used. The main cause is because the first layer of felt is incorrectly bonded directly to the roof deck. Seasonal variations in temperature cause natural expansion and contraction of the timber roof boards, causing the roof covering to split, crack and lift. Of course once even the smallest split has occurred, water will penetrate, damaging the roof structure as well as interior decor.
