Flat Felt Roofing in London

What is Flat Felt Roofing?

Flat felt roofing, especially built-up RBM (Reinforced Bitumen Membrane), is the most common material for residential flat roofs in London. It's also popular for major roofing projects. Recent years have seen significant product development. This roofing method involves rolling out three layers of sheet materials over the roof, which are then bonded together with hot bitumen. These sheets are typically made from polyester of varying strengths and coated in bitumen, creating a single waterproof layer once fused together. When applied over a heated building, the membrane is laid onto the insulation, which is bonded to a vapour control layer attached to the roof deck. This setup is known as a warm roof and is highly effective.

Torching Method: In this method, specially designed RBM is heated with a gas torch, eliminating the need for separate bonding bitumen. There are many misconceptions about felt roofs, but if installed correctly by skilled tradesmen, these concerns are unfounded. At Horncastle & Sons, our craftsmen are fully trained and knowledgeable in all types of RBM. We have approved installers for Index Construction Systems RBM materials.
