Flat Roofs

Flat roofs have long been thought of as difficult to maintain but for most of our flat roofing applications we use a mineral surfaced three layer High Performance Torch on Felt system which is extremely durable, easy to lay and economical.

Because the protective coating of crushed granite chippings is bedded to the surface of the felt this not only offers protections from the UV rays of the sun, it also means that there is no need to cover the roof in stone chippings which usually find their way into the gutters or are used as a toilet by the neighbourhood cats!

The system is laid by rolling out the individual layers whilst heating them with a propane gas torch until they melt into each other and become one. This process means that no air or moisture vapour can become trapped within the layers, which would be the cause of blisters and bubbles in the future.

This system is extremely durable as within the top layer of the system or ‘cap sheet’ is a layer of woven polyester which allows the system to accommodate the thermal movement experienced by buildings with the extremes of Summer and Winter temperatures.

There is also a system that, subject to condition, can be used to overlay the existing flat roof covering and therefore save the time and expense of having to remove and dispose of these.

All flat roofs refurbished using this system come with our 10 Year Workmanship Guarantee which is underwritten with an independent 10 Year Insurance Backed Guarantee.

This means that, if Ashmark Roofing are forced to cease trading for any reason during the guarantee period there will still be a Guarantee on your roof.

We also offer a flat roof recovering service using traditional lead or zinc sheeting but find that most customers find the Torch on Felt system to be more economical.

All of the old flat roof coverings are removed and the site swept clean on completion.
