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 for
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.

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.
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. Plus the fall of the roof
is to be checked to ensure correct drainage or roof plus insulation
top up if necessary.
A new wooden 18mm exterior ply or sterling board
decking is laid and all boards are to be screwed down, not nailed.
UK Roofing fit and supply a high performance seamless flexible
flat roofing system made entirely of GRP (Glass re-inforced polyester)
laminate which is laid 'in-situ' directly on top of new external
decking.This process consists of 4 different layers of polyester
resins and re-inforcements which bond to timber decking indefinitely
forming a seamless flexible watertight membrane which is finished
by resin bonding a coloured gel coat finish. Now the roof is finished
you have a smooth solid laminated surface with no joins, seams
or welds whatsoever, covering the entire roof area which is maintenance
free and tough enough to walk on or stand ladders for access for
window cleaners.This system comes with a fully written 20 year
guarantee for about the same price as a felt roof, with a 10 year
guarantee.
UK Roofing is not a franchise and none
of our roofing is contracted out to other companies.
We provide a total service from start to finish for our clients.
