Roofing You Can Trust

Built up felt roofing, also known as BUR, has been in use for over 90 years in the UK. Its ideal for flat and low slope roofs.  A built up felt roof is composed of alternating layers of reinforcing fabric and asphalt, and finished with a top layer of aggregate, usually gravel. 

A BUR roof is extremely tough and flexible, and forms a very powerful waterproof membrane. It will adhere to virtually any sound surface, both vertical and horizontal, and allows absolutely no moisture to seep underneath it, even when it is damaged.

In recent years, polymer advances have seen the introduction of new high-tech felts which offer ease of use, incredible fireproofing and excellent zero carbon environmental performance.

A typical BUR system would last for at least 15 years, but the new high performance felts will last at least 30 years, and cost only 25% more, so they are extremely cost effective

Built up roofing systems are more often used for refurbishment situations. They are ideal for large roofs, and are commonly found on hospitals, schools, factories and leisure centres. They are also seen on social housing.

Very Happy

We were advised to use a built up felt system for the roof at our industrial unit. We have had leak issues for several years, and decided to get it fixed properly. We are very happy with the work carried out

A Great Company

We bought our factory in 2004 and had a new roof. This year we decided it needed renewing. We decided on the BUR method from RMR Birmingham. A great company. Very satisfied indeed

The Best

I know flat roofs can be a nightmare, and ours has been no exception. We decided on Torch-on roofing but RMR advised the BUR was more appropriate. They were right, and we have no regrets. Good advice
