The courses are designed to provide a basic understanding of the various compnents, complexities, design criteria and correct methods of installation that constitute properly installed Built up Felt roofing systems.

Each course consists of a choice of several PowerPoint Presentations covering:

• Flat Roofing - the Basics
• An Introduction to Reinforced Bitumen Membranes
• The Application of Built Up Roofing
• Flat Roof Surveys - Problem solving and Specifying
• Safe use of Bitumen Boilers and Gas Torches on site
• The Manufacture of Roofing Felt

The course will be of benefit to all those involved in flat roofing

To inexperienced roofers it will provide the knowledge essential for them to understand the materials and methods of application involved in their day to day work.

For experienced flat roofers it will act as a referesher or upskilling course to remind them of what constitutes good practice when installing built up roofing systems and raise their awareness of the materials they sue.

Surveyors and specifiers may benefit from a better overall understanding of what and why they should specify correctly and what to look for when making site visits

N.B. Experience has shown that FOUR presentations are usually enough for candidates to concentrate on in one day.  Prospective candidates or their employers should decide which presentations they would like to receive when booking the course.
