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

Why choose a three-layer felt system for your home

A high-quality three-layer bituminous membrane system remains one of the most effective ways to waterproof a flat roof. Our process involves applying layers of SBS-modified bitumen, which offers superior flexibility and crack resistance compared to older, traditional felt methods. By using reinforced polyester bases, we ensure that your roof can handle the natural expansion and contraction caused by temperature fluctuations throughout the year. This method provides a seamless, robust barrier that protects your home from water ingress and long-term structural decay.

Our precise installation process for Rochester homes

We follow a meticulous approach to every project, starting with a comprehensive timber moisture assessment to ensure the structural deck is sound before we begin. Once the surface is prepared, we install the vapour control layer followed by the underlay and a high-performance mineral cap sheet. This final layer not only provides excellent weatherproofing but also adds a clean, professional finish to your roofline. Our team focuses on every detail, from the edge trims to the flashings, ensuring the entire system is properly sealed and ready to perform for years to come.

Meeting building regulations and thermal standards

Every flat roof installation we undertake in Rochester strictly adheres to UK Building Regulations, including Part L regarding thermal efficiency. It is vital that modern flat roofs are properly insulated to prevent heat loss and avoid issues like interstitial condensation, which can damage the internal structure of your home. By choosing Century Roofing and Building, you can be confident that your new roof meets all current standards for energy performance, helping you maintain a warmer home while potentially reducing your heating costs.

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.
