Why Choose Our Torch On Felt Roofing in Snodland & Kent?

Why choose a three-layer torch on system?

For many homes in Medway, the three-layer felt system remains the gold standard for flat roof performance. By using SBS-modified bitumen and reinforced polyester membranes, we create a robust, flexible shield that moves with your building rather than cracking under thermal expansion. This layered approach ensures excellent waterproofing capabilities that stand up to heavy rain and seasonal temperature shifts. We prioritise the use of high-performance materials that offer superior bonding and longevity compared to traditional methods, giving you peace of mind that your investment is well-protected.

Our process for flat roof installation in Medway

We take a methodical approach to every project in Gillingham to ensure structural integrity and a perfect finish. Our process begins with a thorough site inspection, including timber moisture assessments to check for existing rot or structural vulnerabilities. We then prepare the roof deck to provide a stable foundation, ensuring proper drainage falls are achieved before laying the vapour control layer. The subsequent layers are applied using precision torch-on techniques to create seamless, watertight seals. The final stage involves the application of a high-quality mineral cap sheet, which protects the membrane from UV damage and provides a clean, professional aesthetic to your roofline.

Ensuring quality and regulatory compliance

At Century Roofing and Building, we operate with full awareness of current UK Building Regulations. Every flat roof installation is carried out to meet Part L requirements, focusing on essential thermal efficiency standards to help keep your home warm and energy-efficient. We understand the specific needs of properties in Gillingham and the surrounding Medway area, ensuring that all work complies with local safety standards. From safe waste disposal to ensuring our team is fully covered by public liability insurance, we put the safety of your home and our staff at the forefront of every project.

Torch-On Felt FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our high-performance torch-on felt flat roofing installations, maintenance, and repairs in Kent, London, Surrey & Sussex and across Kent.

How long does a torch-on felt roof actually last?

+

When installed correctly by professionals, a high-performance three-layer system typically lasts between 20 and 30 years. The lifespan depends on the quality of the mineral cap sheet and the condition of the underlying structure. Regular checks to keep gutters clear will help you get the most out of your investment.

Can you repair a felt roof or do I need a full replacement?

+

It depends on the extent of the damage. If you have a small puncture or a minor leak on a relatively new roof, felt roof repairs in Tonbridge and Malling are often possible. However, if the felt is old, brittle, or "alligatored" (covered in tiny cracks), a full replacement is usually the safer and more cost-effective choice in the long run.

Is torch-on felt safe for my home?

+

Yes, it is very safe when handled by trained torch-on felt contractors in Aylesford. We use specialized equipment and follow rigorous safety checks. We are also fully insured for hot work, which is something you should always verify with any roofing company you hire.

Does a new flat roof require planning permission in Snodland?

+

Generally, you do not need planning permission to repair or replace a roof, provided the height isn't significantly increased. However, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building in Kent, there may be specific rules about the materials you can use. We can help advise you on this during our initial assessment.
