Flat Roof Replacement | Medway, Kent
Recently, Primeline Roofing completed a full flat roof replacement for a customer in Rochester, Kent, with a high-quality 3-layer torch-on felt roof around an existing skylight.
The customer had been experiencing leaks with their roof and had attempted numerous repairs previously, only for the leaks to continue. After conducting a full roof survey, it was clear that water ingress and timber decking had been compromised and that a full roof replacement was the best solution.
Strip Back & Structural Repairs
To ensure the issue was resolved properly, we began by stripping back the existing flat roof system to expose the structure beneath.
During this stage, we:
- Removed all old felt layers and previous patch repairs
- Identified areas affected by water damage and weakened timber
- Replaced compromised sections of decking
- Fully prepared the roof surface for the new installation
This process ensures the new roofing system is installed onto a solid, reliable base, rather than covering over existing problems.
Skylight Detailing
Special attention was given to the skylight area, which is often a vulnerable point on flat roofs.
Our team ensured:
- Precise fitting of membranes around all edges
- Reinforced detailing to prevent water ingress
- A fully sealed and watertight finish
This ensures the skylight is properly integrated into the roofing system and protected long-term.
Instalation of 3-layer system
With the roof structure now secure, a professional 3-layer torch-on felt system was installed.
This system consists of:
- Base Layer – This provides a solid foundation for the waterproofing system.
- Reinforced Underlay – This provides a robust waterproofing system by heat bonding to the surface of the roof.
- Mineral Cap Sheet (Top Layer) – This provides a robust finish to the system, which protects against:
- Rain and standing water
- UV rays
- Extreme temperatures
- General wear and tear
