Are you searching for the definitive flat roofing solution for your home?

Many homes still have a traditional flat felt roof on their porch, garage or extension. What was once the norm has now been proven to be unfit for purpose. Over time, a felt roof will degrade and deteriorate. It will become brittle, crack and tear, allowing water to leak through and cause damage to your home.

And because this happens relatively slowly, you may not notice the problem until a lot of expensive damage has been done.

Traditional felt flat roofs tend to deteriorate around exposed edges, under tile flashings and around pipes, water outlets and sky lights. Direct sunlight causes mineral felt roofs to blister, and when the weather gets colder, your roof will become brittle. Felt flat roofs also attract moss and algae, which further degrades the surface of your flat roof.

Were you aware that many insurers simply won’t cover a felt flat roof? This means that if something was to go wrong, all repairs – whether internal or external – would have to carried out at your own expense. And any furniture or belongings that may have been affected by a leak will not be covered under your building and contents insurance. Can you really afford to take that risk?
