Torch-applied bitumen is how some flats are done. We will not publish a brand list or a thickness as a product we own.
Torch-applied bitumen on flat roofs — a method, not a brand catalogue
Flat roof torch-on waterproofing in Somerset West
Torch-on waterproofing for flat roofs in Somerset West - contractor-applied bitumen membrane as a method. Not a brand catalogue and not a roofing-company re-sheet.
01
A torch-applied bitumen membrane should cover the flat and the upstands as a system — a method we apply, not a branded roll we claim as a catalogue, and not a new metal roof.
Flat roof torch-on work in Somerset West is a method card: a torch-applied bitumen membrane on a flat concrete roof, a box-gutter lining, or a deck that takes that system. It is one way to waterproof a flat, not the only way, and not a brand catalogue. Liquid membranes have their own card. We choose on inspection. Falls, outlets, upstands and abutments decide whether torch-on will hold. A flat that ponds will test any layer. Preparation — the old system off or over, the screed, the details — is most of the job. We will not name a roll here, and we will not invent an applicator certificate. Photos of the flat, the suburb, a site inspection. If the structure or the sheets have to be replaced, that is roofing. Strand and Gordon's Bay flats considered from Somerset West. No prices.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
Details decide whether it holds
Upstands, outlets, abutments and falls sit in the brief with the field. A membrane that stops short of the detail fails at the detail.
Not a re-sheet
If the roof has to be rebuilt, that is roofing. This card is waterproofing a flat with a torch-applied system.
Good fit for
Practical solutions for real properties.
The work is assessed according to use, condition, access and the result required.

Straight answers
Questions about flat roof torch-on.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Is torch-on the only way to waterproof a flat roof?+
No. Liquid membranes are a different method card. The inspection chooses. We will not invent one system as always.
Do you sell a particular brand of roll?+
We apply a torch-applied bitumen system specified for the roof. We will not publish a brand name here.
Can you torch over a failed layer?+
Sometimes. Sometimes the old layer has to come off. That is a site call, not a brochure line.
