Have you just bought a property with an old felt flat roof? Can’t remember the last time you had your roof inspected or replaced? A cost-effective, traditional roofing material, mineral or torch-on felt, is unlikely to last as long as modern roofing systems, so homeowners in Teddington, Hampton, and the surrounding areas should look out for these telltale signs that their felt flat roofing needs to be replaced.

There is a range of issues that commonly affect flat roofs, and if you spot a problem early enough, a simple patch and repair can help you avoid a full roof replacement. Read on to discover the three issues to keep an eye out for.
Does the room beneath your flat roof feel cold and damp? This is a sign that your home may be suffering from damp, and your felt flat roof could be the problem.
When water infiltrates your home, it can become trapped inside. This can cause a host of problems, including mould and even sickness.
Leaks can be hard to trace, but our emergency roof repairs service includes expert leak detection and resealing. We can install a new roof as well as gutter, soffit and fascia replacements, and our roofing company is trusted in Teddington and the surrounding areas for the quality of our flat roofing installations.
Felt roofs are prone to organic growth such as moss, algae, fungi, or lichen. If you see a green patch forming on your roof, it is a clear sign that water has infiltrated the top coat.
Unlike rubber or fibreglass systems, felt roofs require vigilance and extra maintenance, and moss or algae growth is an unfortunate sign that your roof hasn’t received enough care over the years. Consider calling a professional to arrange an immediate inspection and the necessary roof and chimney repairs.
Whether you have a hole in your roof or damaged lead flashing, water is the enemy of a felt flat roof. Many homeowners fail to realise that their timber beams and joists have been exposed to water or mould, which is slowly causing them to rot.
This is a serious problem that requires urgent attention, as compromised beams could collapse or dangerously shift, threatening the structural integrity of your home.
