Flat Roofs affected by the hot and dry Weather

With the longest dry period that parts of the UK have seen for over a hundred years a lot of people have forgotten about the leaking flat roof they have.

By putting off this decision the problem with the old flat roof will most likely get worse as the felt will be drying and cracking in the hot weather making the leak worse when the rains return. Unknown to many a lot of damage is caused to felt and bituminous roofs by the sun and hot weather as this can soften the joints and lead to increased expansion and contraction forming cracks in the layers of roofing materials. With ClassicBond the extremes of weather are not a problem for this excellent material.

With the rises in cost of raw materials and oils the cost of traditional felts have increased dramatically in the last few months, this in turn makes EPDM a very economical solution to your flat roof problem.
