Felt And Torch On Roofing in Whitworth

A successful torch-on roof relies entirely on the precision of the application. Unlike basic DIY solutions, our professional approach ensures every layer is seamlessly bonded to create a monolithic waterproof skin. We follow a strict step-by-step process to guarantee the highest standards of workmanship on every job in Rossendale and surrounding areas.Initial Survey & Assessment: We begin by inspecting the structural integrity of your roof deck and identifying any underlying issues with timber or insulation.Surface Preparation: We remove old, failing materials and ensure the surface is clean, dry, and primed for maximum adhesion.Multi-Layer Application: We typically install a three-layer system consisting of a venting base sheet, a reinforced underlay, and a heavy-duty mineral cap sheet.Precision Welding: Using a gas torch, we carefully melt the bitumen on the underside of the felt, welding it to the previous layer and sealing all joints and upstands.Final Inspection: Every detail, from the leadwork to the guttering interfaces, is checked to ensure it meets our rigorous quality standards.This meticulous process ensures that your bituminous felt system provides a reliable, long-term solution. For those considering modern alternatives, we also specialise in EPDM rubber roofing and GRP fibreglass flat roofs to suit different budget and aesthetic requirements.
