Felt Roofing
Torch-On Felt Roofs for Garages, Extensions and Outbuildings
Felt is the covering most people picture when they think of a flat roof, and modern systems are far tougher than the single sagging sheet found on many older garages. A torch-on felt roof is built up in layers: a base sheet bonded to the deck, then a cap sheet with a mineral surface that shields it from sunlight and wear. We lay new felt roofs and repair failing ones on homes and commercial buildings throughout Hertfordshire, Hampshire and Surrey.
The strength of felt is value. It usually costs less to install than GRP or EPDM, it goes down quickly on a sound deck, and a damaged area can be cut out and patched with matching material. The trade-off is a shorter working life and more joints, because each layer is laid in overlapping rolls. For a garage, shed or modest extension that nobody uses, felt is often the sensible budget choice; for a balcony or a large roof, another system may serve you better.

Felt Recommended Only Where It Fits
Torch-on felt is one of three flat roof systems we install, so we suggest it when it genuinely suits your roof and budget.
Free Survey of the Deck
Before quoting, we check that the boards under the felt are still firm, because new felt laid on a soft deck soon fails.
Homes and Commercial Units
From a single garage to a flat-roofed shop or workshop, the work is planned around how the building is used.
Insured Wherever We Work
Public liability insurance covers our felt roofing at your property, wherever you are in Hertfordshire, Hampshire or Surrey.

Pricing
Felt Roof Costs: What Affects Your Quote
Felt roofs are priced after a free survey, and these details make the most difference to the figure.
- The number of felt layers specified, from a two-layer system to a heavier three-layer build-up.
- How much old felt and loose chippings need stripping and taking away.
- The condition of the deck boards and how many need replacing before the new felt goes down.
- Upstands, abutments, roof lights and outlets that the felt has to be dressed around.
- Safe access to the roof, such as a tower or scaffold on a taller extension.
The work
How We Lay a Torch-On Felt Roof
The main stages of the job, from the first inspection to the final check.
Survey and Deck Check
We look for splits, blisters and standing water on the existing felt and test the deck for soft or sagging areas.
Stripping and Priming
Old felt is removed, rotten boards are replaced, and the deck is cleaned and primed so the new layers bond firmly.
Bonding the Layers
The base sheet is torched onto the deck, then the mineral cap sheet is bonded over it with the laps staggered so no joint sits above another.
Edges, Upstands and Handover
Felt is dressed up walls and finished at the drip trims and outlets. After clearing old felt and offcuts from site, we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.
