Why Choose Us?
Our Expert Installation Process for Long Lasting Results
Installing a torch-on felt roof requires precision, high-grade equipment, and a deep understanding of structural integrity. At Lancashire Roofing Specialist, we follow a rigorous process to ensure every project meets our exacting standards. We begin with a comprehensive roof survey to check the condition of the existing substrate. If the timber decking is rotten or compromised, we replace it to provide a solid foundation for the new membrane.The installation itself typically involves a three-layer system. First, we apply a venting base layer or a nailed underlay, followed by a reinforced bitumen underlay. The final step is the application of the high-performance cap sheet. This top layer often features a mineral finish that protects the bitumen from UV degradation and adds an extra layer of durability. Using a propane torch, we carefully melt the bitumen on the underside of the rolls to fuse it to the previous layer, ensuring the seams are completely watertight.Our team treats every property with the utmost respect. We maintain a tidy site and ensure that all debris is removed upon completion, leaving you with nothing but a high-quality, professional roof that is built to last.

How Long Does a Torch On Roof Typically Last?
One of the most frequent questions we receive is regarding the longevity of felt roofing. In the past, felt roofs had a reputation for leaking after just a few years. However, modern torch-on technology has changed the landscape entirely. A professionally installed system from Lancashire Roofing Specialist is designed to endure the Lancashire climate for two decades or more.The secret to this longevity lies in the multi-layer application and the quality of the bitumen used. By layering the membranes, we create a redundant system where even if the top layer were to be damaged, the layers underneath continue to provide protection. We also ensure that the detailing around edges, upstands, and chimneys is executed with total precision, as these are the areas where most flat roofs fail. Regular checks of your gutters and clearing of debris can help extend the life of your roof even further.
