Don't Let a Leaky Felt Roof Ruin Your Banstead Home

When you call Kevington Roofing for a felt roof repair in Banstead, we don't just put a plaster over the problem. Our process begins with a thorough, honest assessment of your existing felt roof. We look beyond the obvious leak, checking for underlying issues, the condition of the deck beneath, and the integrity of all seams, flashings, and upstands. Whether it’s a modern torch-on felt system or an older pour and roll roof, we have the expertise to identify the root cause of failure. We then prepare the area meticulously, ensuring it’s clean, dry, and ready for a repair that genuinely lasts. Our goal is to provide a durable solution that extends the life of your felt roof and prevents future leaks.

Knowing what to look for can save you a lot of trouble. If you have a felt roof on your Banstead property, keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs of potential problems:

• Water Stains or Damp Patches on ceilings or walls below the flat roof area.
• Cracks or Splits in the felt, especially near edges or where the roof meets a wall.
• Blistering or Bubbles appearing on the roof surface, indicating trapped moisture.
• Pooling Water that doesn't drain away after rain.
• Degraded or Worn Surfaces, where the protective mineral chippings have worn off, exposing the felt beneath.
• Loose or Lifted Seams where felt sections join.
  If you spot any of these, getting a professional assessment is crucial.

At Kevington Roofing and Building LTD, we know that a repair is only as good as the materials used. For felt roof repairs, we use high-performance, reinforced bitumen membranes designed for longevity and superior waterproofing. These modern felt systems are far more resilient and flexible than older materials, capable of withstanding the elements for years to come. Depending on the specific repair needed, we may use techniques like localised patching with compatible felt, overlaying sections with new material, or even re-felting entire problematic areas. Our experienced team ensures that all new materials are perfectly integrated with your existing roof, creating a seamless, watertight barrier.

Opting for a professional felt roof repair from Kevington Roofing brings significant advantages beyond just stopping a leak. Our thorough approach helps to:
