Torch-on felt systems

ROOFTECH can offer a variety of felting refurbishment solutions from a single layer overlay of existing coverings to complete replacement using three layer insulated systems. As approved installers for Bauder’s torch-on felt systems, we are able to provide our customers with new roof coverings with a life expectancy of up to 40 years.

Our operatives are fully trained and have many years’ experience using torch-on felt systems providing our customers with a high level of workmanship during installation and a quality roof on completion.

We are also approved for various other torch-on felt manufacturers enabling us to specify the right system for each individual project. Independant inspections are carried out when required by the manufacturers both during the work and upon completion. As approved contractors, ROOFTECH can provide 10, 15 and 20 year supplier guarantees covering both materials and workmanship.

Flat Roof Refurbishment – Rochester, Kent

The existing PVC based single ply membrane flat roof covering to this 1000m2 office block had come to the end of its useful life and a new long-term guaranteed solution was required.

The roof covering was stripped down to the structural decking and a new system installed comprising self-adhesive bituminous vapour control layer and fully adhered rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation boards followed by Danosa bituminous torch-on underlay and cap sheet felts with a Dark Grey mineral surface finish.

Upstands and details that were difficult to access were completely sealed using a system compatible cold applied PMMA coating to leave fully watertight.

Flat Roof Replacement – Abbey Wood, London

The existing built-up bituminous flat roof covering to this office area was due for replacement in conjunction with the adjoining asbestos-cement pitched roof over the warehouse. The flat roof covering and associated granular screed was stripped down to the concrete decking, with all debris being cleared from site.

A new Danosa BBA approved felt system with 20 year product warranty was installed, complete with tapered/cut-to-falls PIR insulation and purpose made coated steel perimeter capping.
