Having a flat roof has been gaining in popularity. Flat roof repairs in Kenilworth is very famous because of the care and cautiousness taken in the process.

There are a number of concerns are taken into account for roof repairs in Kenilworth. However, before repairing a flat roof, these seven tips and ideas are taken into consideration.

1. Review the pros and cons of each type of roofing material.

There are five primary types of roofing material that will work for a flat roof. These types of material vary in style as well as price. The most simple is BUR, or build-up roofing that is made of rolls of overlapping felt.

2. Examine areas where leaks come in from the flat roof.

Many types of roof have leaks, but a flat roof is particularly susceptible to leaks. If the leak is visible inside the home, then we can try to locate that point on the roof, and replace all materials at that spot, overlapping them to ensure that there are no seams to allow water seepage.

3. Be thorough in replacing older pieces of framing on the roof.

When the old roofing material is scraped clean, take the time to inspect each piece of plywood or framing wood that was used. Now is the time to put down new pieces if we see any water damage, chips, or nicks.

4. Consider creating a small slope.

With leaks as a large problem for a building with a flat roof, a minor slope can lengthen the life of a repaired roof.

5. Put in quality flashing.

The flashing goes around vents, chimneys, and other protrusions around the roof. Flashing protects the roof from leaks, and that is especially important for a flat roof.

6. Watch the temperature on the asphalt and felt rolls.

The asphalt rolls that insulate the roof are best if they are not overheated while rolled. This step needs to be done as efficiently as possible.

7. Nail with a plan.

Roofing nails need to be planned well. Stagger the nails over the roofing material to help ensure that they provide complete protection.
