There are so many advantages to having this traditional material installed at your property, such as:
Although this flat roof installation process requires health and safety training because our roofers use blowtorches, securing the felt in place is simpler than with other roofing materials. As a result, hot bitumen roofing can be done much quicker, which means it costs less to our clients.
Torch-on felt roofing forms a resilient and watertight seal with the roof surface. This keeps the material securely in place during adverse weather conditions, including strong winds. Additionally, it prevents water from penetrating the roof, sealing minor cracks and imperfections.
Modern pour-and-roll roofing is remarkably strong and UV-resistant. When set, it forms a hard, bonded layer on the roof’s surface, capable of withstanding extreme conditions. When properly installed and maintained, your new flat roof installation should last up to 30 years.
Our roofing contractors at Southern Way Roofing can adapt torch-on felt to suit roofs of all shapes and sizes. Following installation, we can also replace existing guttering and other roofline components with new uPVC materials.
If your roof has seen better days or is rapidly reaching the end of its lifespan, talk to our experienced roofers about your options. We are always happy to offer advice about repairs, replacements, and new flat roof installations.

Are you not sure whether or not it’s time to replace the roof on your Bridlington property? Here are some signs to watch out for:
Felt roofs typically last 20-30 years. This may be significantly shorter if the original installation was substandard or you’ve ignored previous damage.
Over time, felt can become brittle, leading to cracks. Large tears expose the substructure and allow water ingress.
Have you noticed water spots on the ceiling of your property or damp in the attic? If ignored, you risk structural damage and mould.
Flat roof installations shouldn't hold water. If puddles form after rain, drainage fails, and the felt is compromised.
