YOUR PROBLEM If your flat or sloping roof has a conventional felt covering and is 10 or more years old, then you have already been thinking of the inevitable WHEN IS IT GOING TO LEAK?This is not an easy prediction because of stones and moss covering the felt.Most of these old felt roofs contain a main ingredient of bitumen. These bitumen based products are in the same family as tar or pitch. Unfortunately this type of product has been used to varying degrees of success over the years, with a very unpredictable life span. Due to the elements breaking down old felt and the sun causing blistering or big air bubbles trapped under the felt. Also not to mention all the joins on each strip of felt.All this boils down to a very unstable roof covering. THE CONSEQUENCES As you may already know, because of previous leaks you will get to find out when you old roof begins to leak.The problems are sometimes as a small leak might not show on your ceiling or wall fro sometime. As the roofing timbers and insulation may be soaking the water from a small leak this ends up with timber work getting wet, then dry, then wet again, ending in wet rot and damp spreading throughout roof area.Then as your leak gets worse then you hear drip, drip or a wet patch on your ceiling appears. All this can be an extra burden to put right.So if your felt roof is 10 years old or more, these facts should be taken into consideration. UK ROOFING PROCESS All old roofing materials are to be removed from roof area. This will allow a full examination of roof timbers to check for wood rot in the timbers.
