Torch-on felt is built-up from layers of reinforced bitumen sheets that are heated and bonded to create a watertight seal. We also undertake roofing repairs for existing felt systems, including work on compromised leadwork.

Flat Roofs – FAQ

What makes felt flat roofs a good choice?

Felt flat roofs are durable, weather-resistant, and cost-effective. Torch-on felt systems provide excellent waterproofing, making them ideal for garages, extensions, and commercial buildings. When professionally installed, they can last for decades with minimal upkeep.

How do I know if my flat roof needs repairing?

Signs that repairs may be needed include leaks, water pooling, blistering, or visible cracks in the felt. Prompt repairs prevent more serious issues, such as rot or structural damage. Nichols Roofing offers expert inspections to quickly identify and resolve problems.

Can flat roofs be restored without full replacement?

Yes. If the damage is limited, a recover system can reinforce the existing roof without complete removal. This cost-effective solution restores waterproofing and extends the roof’s lifespan. For more extensive damage, a new installation may be recommended.
