Felt Roofing

Flat Roof Maintenance

It is important to check the outlets, projections, gutters rooflights and flashing If any of the surface chippings have become displaced they should be swept back into position.

In Spring it is important to check that all the gutters and outlets are not blocked by fallen leaves which may cause water to pond. This is also the time to look for frost damage to the pointing which may allow roof structures to become damp

Dos and Don'ts

• Do deal with a leak as soon as it is noticed.
• Do check with the original specification to identify the roof build up.

• Do consider repair rather than costly replacement later.
• Do check the roof before and after any work is carried out by other trades. In this way damage caused by other people will be easily identified.
• don't use the roof as a working platform for adjoining buildings.
• Where access is required, protection must be given so as not to damage the waterproofing membrane.
• Don't allow other trades to fix units through the waterproofing membrane without proper advice. This is especially important when having television aerials, satellite dishes and telephone cables installed.
• Don't drop cement, paint, or solvents on the roof as these will damage the surface.
