Felt Roofing in Berkshire

Modern roofing felt is a proven flat-roofing solution and a significant step forward from the basic felt coverings traditionally associated with sheds and older flat roofs. Modern high-performance systems use multiple layers of reinforced bituminous membrane to create durable, weather-resistant protection.

Preparation is just as important as the covering itself. We assess the existing roof deck, drainage and falls before installation, replacing or correcting areas where necessary to help water drain effectively. Particular attention is given to edges, outlets, upstands and other vulnerable details. Finished with a protective mineral surface, felt roofing provides a practical and cost-effective option for garages, extensions, outbuildings and many other flat roofs.

Common questions

Felt Roofing FAQs

How long does a felt roof last?

A modern torch-on felt roof, laid in layers and well detailed, typically lasts fifteen to twenty-five years. It is the most affordable of the flat roof systems.

Can you repair my existing felt roof?

Often, yes, if the problem is localised. If the felt has widely blistered or the falls are wrong, re-covering is the better value.

What is torch-on felt?

It is a reinforced felt membrane bonded to the deck with heat and laid in layers, far tougher than the old single-layer felt that used to blister and crack.

Can you re-felt my garage roof?

Yes. Garage and outbuilding roofs are ideal for a modern felt system, and we correct the falls at the same time if water has been pooling.

Does a felt roof need much maintenance?

Very little. An occasional check of the edges and outlets is enough. We will point out anything to keep an eye on when we finish.
