Flat Roof Replacement in Putney, London

How an old asphalt flat roof in Putney, with water-damaged boards underneath, was replaced with a new triple-layer torch-on felt system.

Client

Deb

Location

Putney, London

Roof type

Flat roof

System installed

Triple-layer torch-on felt

The problem

Deb's flat roof in Putney was covered in old asphalt, and water had found its way through to the deck — some of the boards beneath had been damaged by it. With the deck affected, a surface repair would not have lasted; the roof needed stripping and rebuilding on sound boards.

The goal

Replace the failing asphalt roof and damaged boards with a new, fully watertight flat roof — completed on schedule.

How we did it

1

Removal of the asphalt roof

The existing asphalt roof covering was stripped off.

2

Removal of water-damaged boards

Any boards damaged by water were taken out.

3

New OSB boards

New OSB boards were installed where required to give the new roof a sound deck.

4

New triple-layer felt roof

A high-performance triple-layer torch-on felt roof system was installed across the roof.

The results

Roof system

Triple-layer felt

Deck

New OSB boards

Completed
