If your roof has been damaged by a storm or simply has broken tile water has a nasty habit of finding the smallest crack in that roof and causing damage. Sometimes the water will run under the roof tiles onto the felt but a leak that goes unnoticed for long periods will eventually rot the felt underneath. When that happens considerable damage to the ceilings and decoration occurs and in some cases can cause wooden beams or supports to rot.
Let the roofing experts at B. Mead Roofing Specialist repair your damaged roof. Whether you have cracks in your roof due to the passage of time or from the impact of a storm, our skilled team will fix it quickly and efficiently.

Benefits of a Flat Roof
Many properties will have an area, such as above an extension or over a garage or porch, where a flat roof was provided as part of the property build or expansion. Flat roofs provide an economical solution due to their relatively low cost, for both installation and ongoing repair, when compared to pitched roofs covered with tiles or slate.
Apart from lower costs, installing a flat roof can have other benefits depending on your requirements.
A flat roof provides a versatile space that can be utilized for various purposes, such as creating a rooftop garden or a relaxing seating area.
For example your location may lend itself to having a roof garden and seating area or maybe a place to install solar panels.
One downside, however, to a flat roof is the slow rate that drainage occurs, that often leads to “puddling” after a period of time and/or settlment. This can result in water accumulation known as ‘puddling,’ which can eventually lead to material deterioration and the development of leaks.
When this occurs there will eventually come a time that materials break down and causing leaks.
This degradation can be particularly common in older flat roofs that were constructed with felt materials.
Older, flat roofs, that were installed using felt are very prone to cracking over time.
To avoid such issues, regular maintenance and inspections are essential to ensure the longevity of your flat roof.
Regular inspection and maintenance of a flat roof are crucial tasks that should not be overlooked. It is important to regularly check for any signs of damage or wear and tear to ensure the longevity of your roof. Pay close attention to areas where puddles tend to form, as these can be indicators of potential issues that need to be addressed.
By following this simple yet effective process of routine roof inspection, you can proactively prevent any potential leaks or structural damage. In case you notice any issues or suspect a leak, it is advisable to promptly contact a trusted and experienced flat roofing contractor like B Mead Roofing for professional assistance and timely repairs.
