Torch-On Felt Flat Roofing
Torch-on felt is a proven way to cover a flat roof. Instead of a single thin sheet nailed down, it is built up in layers, each one heat-bonded to the one below, so the finished roof is thick, tough and fully stuck to the deck with no loose edges for the wind to catch.
A base layer goes down first, followed by a cap sheet with a mineral finish that protects the roof from sunlight and wear. Upstands are dressed up the walls, and edge trims and drip details make sure water runs off cleanly rather than creeping back under the felt.
Felt is quick to lay and well suited to garages, extensions, dormers and porches. Before any work starts, the old covering comes off and the deck is checked. You get a FREE, no-obligation quotation and straight advice on whether felt is the right system for your roof.

Signs Your Felt Roof Is Failing
Blisters in the Felt
Raised bubbles across the surface mean moisture is trapped under the felt and the layers are coming apart.
Splits & Open Seams
Cracks along the laps and seams of an older felt roof let water track underneath and into the deck below.
Bare, Worn Cap Sheet
Patches where the mineral surface has worn away leave the felt exposed to sunlight and breaking down fast.
Leaks at the Wall
A leak where the flat roof meets the house often comes from a failed upstand or flashing along the wall line.

What Affects the Cost of a Felt Roof
Every roof is different, so the price is worked out once the roof has been looked at rather than guessed over the phone. These are the things that move it.
FREE, No-Obligation Quotations
Every roof is looked at before it is priced, so the figure you get is the figure for your job. Your quotation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Size of the Flat Roof
The roof area sets how much felt is needed and how long it takes to strip, prepare and lay the layers.
Condition of the Deck
Boards that are soft or rotten from old leaks are replaced before the new felt goes down on top of them.
Upstands & Abutments
Walls, roof lights and pipes that meet the roof all need upstands dressing and sealing, which adds time.
Access to the Roof
A garage roof is quick to reach, while a first-floor extension or dormer may need a tower or scaffold.
