Felt Flat Roofs

Three layers of reinforced protection

Torch-on felt remains one of the most cost-effective flat roofing solutions. We use high-performance, polyester-reinforced bitumen membranes laid in three layers — a vapour control layer, a reinforced underlay, and a mineral-surfaced capsheet. The result is a tough, flexible, weatherproof surface that performs reliably for years on garages, sheds, and small extensions.

Each layer is torched down and bonded to the one below, creating a continuous, sealed surface. The polyester reinforcement gives the membrane strength and flexibility, while the mineral-surfaced capsheet protects the bitumen from UV degradation. Properly installed, a three-layer felt roof is a dependable, budget-friendly choice for smaller flat areas.

Felt Flat Roofs — Your Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about our felt flat roofs service across Essex, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

A properly installed three-layer high-performance felt roof typically lasts 15 to 20 years. It is a dependable, cost-effective choice, though EPDM and GRP offer longer lifespans if your budget allows.
Yes. Our roofers are trained in safe torch-on application, and we use gas safety equipment and fire precautions throughout. For very confined spaces we can also discuss cold-applied alternatives.
Felt is the most cost-effective for smaller areas. EPDM offers a long-lasting lifespan with no seams, and GRP is the toughest, ideal for walk-on roofs and balconies. We will advise the best fit for your roof and budget at survey.
