Thinking about a new roof or fixing up an existing one in Canterbury? You're probably focused on the tiles or slates – the bit you can see. But what about what's underneath?

Google ReviewsIs Your Canterbury Roof Ready for the Kent Weather? The Underlayment's Role
Let's face it, Canterbury weather can be unpredictable. Rain, wind, even the occasional snow – your roof takes a beating. Roof underlayment acts as a second line of defence against the elements. It sits between your roof covering (tiles or slates) and the roof deck, providing an extra layer of waterproofing. It stops any water that gets past the tiles from soaking into the wood underneath, which can lead to rot, mould, and costly repairs.
New Roof Underlayment: A Smart Investment for Canterbury Homeowners
Putting a new roof on your Canterbury home? Don't skimp on the underlayment. Choosing a high-quality underlayment is a smart investment that will pay off in the long run. It helps to extend the lifespan of your entire roof system. We, at Century Roofing and Building, always recommend using durable and reliable underlayment materials for all our new roof installations.
Fixing a Leaky Roof in Canterbury? Check Your Underlayment
Unmatched Reliability and Speed
If you've got a leaky roof in Canterbury, the underlayment might be the culprit. Over time, it can degrade due to sun exposure, age, or physical damage. When we carry out roof repairs, we always inspect the underlayment to see if it needs replacing. Ignoring a damaged underlayment is like putting a plaster on a broken leg - it doesn't fix the underlying problem.

Choosing the Right Underlayment for Your Canterbury Home: Breathable vs. Non-Breathable
Choose Century Roofing & Building today
There are different types of roof underlayment available, and the best choice for your Canterbury home will depend on your specific needs and roof type. Breathable underlayment allows moisture vapour to escape from inside your roof space, which helps to prevent condensation. Non-breathable underlayment, on the other hand, provides a more waterproof barrier but requires proper ventilation to prevent moisture build-up. We at Century Roofing and Building can advise you on the best option for your property.
