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

The Benefits of Our Three-Layer Felt Systems

Choosing a three-layer torch on felt system offers exceptional waterproofing capabilities. We use industry-leading SBS-modified bitumen, which provides superior flexibility compared to traditional felt, allowing the roof to withstand temperature fluctuations without cracking. By using reinforced polyester bases, we ensure the structural integrity of your flat roof is maintained for years to come. This approach is ideal for homeowners in Gravesend seeking a proven, reliable, and weather-resistant roofing solution.

How We Install Your New Flat Roof

Our installation process is thorough and safety-focused. We begin with a detailed inspection, including timber moisture assessments to ensure the deck is sound and dry. Once the old roof is removed and the deck prepared, we layer the high-performance bituminous membranes using heat-application techniques that fuse the materials into a single, watertight seal. The final stage involves applying a durable mineral cap sheet, which not only provides an attractive finish but also adds a robust layer of UV protection to your investment.

Are You Concerned About Thermal Efficiency and Compliance?

We prioritise safety and compliance in every project we undertake. All our flat roofing work in Gravesend strictly adheres to current UK Building Regulations. We specifically focus on Part L compliance to ensure your new roof meets modern thermal efficiency standards, helping to reduce heat loss through your roof and potentially lower your energy bills. We handle all necessary technical considerations, from adequate falls for drainage to proper ventilation, giving you peace of mind that your home is fully compliant and structurally secure.

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.
