Built up felt roofs are a business standard, one that Northern Roofing Services team of expert roofers have much experience with. Using composite alternating layers of felt and bitumen, this creates a fully sealed flat roof in a variety of aesthetic finishes. You can choose between a two layer system for cost-effective protection, or a 3 layer system which is more energy efficient for maintaining indoor heat. All built up felt roofs have an approximate lifespan of 10 years.
Built up felt is the oldest remaining flat roofing method that we offer today, but please be assured that this will not make it any less of a good job than modern solutions as we never use poor quality materials and have a long list of reviews available and many happy customers that we have installed these for.
As well as having cosmetic benefits when installing a flat roof on an older building with the old fashioned look complementing some older properties. Checking flat roofs out for any tell tail signs and getting them dealt with sooner rather than later could be really cost effective before any problems escalate. Things you should be looking out for is the holding water (puddles) on the surface. Any cracks or blisters are signs of general wear and tear of damage. If any of these signs are seen please get in touch with us for a free roof check on any flat roofing system.
