Overview

Modern felt flat roofs

Today’s torch-on felt bears little resemblance to the thin roofing felt that gave flat roofs a bad name. Modern polyester-reinforced membranes are heat-bonded in layers, with a mineral cap sheet that protects the roof from sunlight and foot traffic.

It is a practical choice for extensions, garages and outbuildings where budget matters, and it can be patched and repaired easily later in its life.

How It Works

How our felt roof service works

Step 1
Inspect the deck
We check whether the deck is firm and dry or needs replacing.
Step 2
Prepare
Old felt is stripped or primed for overlay, and edges and upstands are prepared.
Step 3
Torch on the layers
Base and cap sheets are bonded in turn, with laps staggered.
Step 4
Finish & check
Trims and flashings are fixed, and the roof is checked before we leave.

Pricing

What affects felt roof prices?

Every roof is different, so every quote is written for your property. These are the factors that move the price most.

Number of layers

A three-layer build costs more than two but gives extra protection.

Roof area

Material and labour scale with the size of the roof.

Deck repairs

Soft or wet boards must be replaced before new felt goes down.

Detailing

Roof lights, wall abutments and outlets take extra time to form.

FAQs

Felt roof FAQs

How long does a felt roof last?

A quality multi-layer torch-on felt roof commonly lasts 20 years or more, depending on the product, the falls and how much foot traffic it gets.

Can you felt over my existing flat roof?

Sometimes. If the existing felt is well bonded and the deck underneath is dry and sound, an overlay can work. If the deck is soft or wet, it needs stripping back first.

Is torch-on felting safe on a house?

It is, in trained hands. Installers follow hot-works precautions, such as keeping flame away from exposed timber details and checking the roof after torching finishes.
