Flat roofs made from bitumen and felt will at some point in time be in need of repairs as they require attention to prevent further damage to the home or building. Of course repairing the damaged roof will prevent further damage but the chances are the roof will need further repairs in the future. Nowadays there are flat roofing solutions which can last for “in excess of 40 years” as stated by the BBA, the UK’s British Board of Agreement and unlike bitumen and felt flat roofs they do not require loose chippings and will not attract the growth of moss as they have been designed to prevent any form of growth, which also makes them look more attractive. These new flat roofing solutions will also not crack and cause leaks which often require expensive roof repairs.
