Torch-on Felt Flat Roofs and Pitched Roofing in Crawley | Common Problems from Experienced Roofers

Expert Roofing Solutions

Pitched Roofing

• 

  Flashing Failures -

  This occurs when the leadwork designed to seal vulnerable areas of the roof deteriorates, cracks, or becomes loose, allowing water to penetrate. Common causes include weather damage, poor installation or natural expansion and contraction over time. To address this, we provide expert lead flashing installation to ensure all roof joints are properly sealed. With our professional approach, your roof will be more durable, watertight, and fully protected against water ingress.
• 

  Damaged Tiles -

  This is when roof tiles become cracked or chipped, and the pitched roof repair solution we offer for this is tile repair or replacement. Our roofing company works with a range of materials, so we can tile-match, making our repairs seamlessly integrate with the rest of your roof. Or if there is major damage to most of the roof tiles, our roofers can assess and may recommend a new roof for the safety of your property.

Torch-on Felt Roofing

• 

  Ponding Water -

  This is when water sits on the roof for more than 48 hours, weakening the roof membrane, which could lead to premature roof failure. A cause of this can be inadequate flat roof installation, and our roofing contractors can correct the roof’s slope to ensure proper drainage or fill low spots with specialised compounds.
• 

  Blistering and Bubbling -

  This issue with torch-applied felt roofs is caused by trapped moisture or air beneath the felt membrane, which expands when heated by the sun. To resolve this, we can cut open the affected area, dry it completely and apply a new patch of torch-on membrane to seal the area.
