Does Your Flat Roof Need Regular Maintenance?
Your flat roof is up there in all seasons, battling the elements. Rain, wind, snow, frost, sunlight…it’s unrelenting. So what maintenance do you need to do, to keep it in peak condition?
The answer varies from roof to roof. How old is it? What size? When was it last inspected? And most important, waterproofing – what material is fitted?
Felt
Traditional felt needs regular maintenance, as the membrane is prone to peeling in summer and cracking in winter. You should check it twice a year from the moment it’s installed, and budget for ongoing repairs as it starts to get older
EPDM Rubber
GRP Fibreglass
PVC Single-Ply
Maintain, Repair or Replace?
As a roof gets older and approaches the end of its shelf life, the need for maintenance is going to increase – especially in the case of felt, which starts to break up towards the end.
However, there will come a time when it simply can’t be maintained – because health checks and minor repairs are fighting a losing battle. Then, the only option is to replace it with a new and better system.
What does that mean, in the case of your roof?
