Regular maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity of a felt roof. Inspect your roof at least twice a year, preferably in the spring and autumn, to check for damage, loose seams or debris. Clear debris, keep gutters clean and promptly address any issues to prevent leaks

Felt roofing is versatile and can be used for various structures, including residential homes, garages, sheds and commercial buildings. It adapts well to flat or low-pitched roofs and is often chosen for its cost-effectiveness and durability.

The lifespan of a felt roof can vary depending on factors like the quality of materials, installation and maintenance. Generally, a well-maintained felt roof can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years or more. Regular inspections and timely repairs can extend its longevity.

Felt roofing, also known as bitumen roofing, is a flat roofing system commonly used for various structures. It is typically composed of layers of bitumen (a waterproofing material) and reinforcement materials like fibreglass or polyester. These layers are then topped with a protective coating of mineral granules or a reflective finish.
