Here, we look at some signs your flat roof is in trouble and it’s time to call the professionals. Key indicators include:
Pooling water might not seem like a serious issue, especially if it’s not seeping through the roof, but it can cause severe issues if left. Pooled water causes pressure points and puts stress on flat roofs, which can lead to cracking. If your property has shifted over time, divots can form on your roof’s surface, which will naturally gather small amounts of rainwater. Flat roofing installations are designed to withstand some water remaining on them, but, without proper drainage, persistent water pooling will cause issues can put your building in danger of structural damage.
Flashing is designed to prevent water from seeping through GRP and felt roofing, but it can pull away from the edges of the roof over time. If moisture is trapped between the roof layers, leaks will appear in your ceiling, and it will be much more time-consuming and costly to repair than calling a roofing company in Guildford to repair the flashing.
We also offer roof tile replacements and provide emergency roof repairs to ensure you are covered in urgent situations.
Moss can grow on and even cover flat roofs. This isn’t a huge problem, but it is a clear indicator that the roof requires professional help. Moss, algae, and other organic growths are signs that water is pooling on your roof or that moisture is being retained by the roofing materials. If left, moss growth can cause serious roofing damage and lead to leaks.
