Torch-On Felt Roofing Systems
Felt has moved a long way from the thin sheets that once split after a few winters. Today’s torch-on systems use reinforced, bitumen-based membranes heat-bonded to the deck and to each other, building up a tough, proven covering that resists foot traffic, sunlight and standing water far better than older felt.
A built-up felt roof starts with a base sheet bonded to the deck and finishes with a mineral cap sheet. A stone or tar and chip coating can be used instead, shielding the felt from sunlight and giving a traditional look. That choice of finishes, and a modest cost per square metre, make felt well suited to large roofs.
Steadfast lays felt roofs on garages, extensions and commercial buildings across Kent and South East London. We offer a FREE drone roof inspection to help assess the condition of your roof and identify potential issues, along with a FREE, no-obligation quote.

Signs You Need a New Felt Roof
Split or Cracked Felt
Older single-layer felt dries out and cracks with age, and every split is a route for rainwater into the deck.
Blistering Patches
Trapped moisture lifts the felt into blisters that eventually burst, leaving bare patches open to the weather.
Lifting Laps & Seams
Where the overlaps between sheets have come unstuck, water is driven in by wind and rain.
Leaks After Heavy Rain
Drips or stains after a downpour usually mean the felt has failed somewhere above, often near an edge.

Felt Roofing Costs

FREE, No-Obligation Quotes. Your quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing, so you can make an informed decision about your property.
Roof Area
The size of the roof sets the amount of felt and the time needed to lay each layer.
Number of Layers
A two-layer or three-layer specification changes both the material used and the labour involved.
Deck Condition
Boards that need replacing add cost, but a firm deck is what keeps a new felt roof sound.
Finish Chosen
A mineral cap sheet and a stone or tar and chip coating are priced differently, so your choice of finish matters.

Our Felt Roofing Process
Stripping the Old Roof
The worn felt is removed back to the deck so the boards can be checked properly rather than covered over.
Preparing a Sound Deck
Soft or damaged boards are replaced and the surface is made clean, dry and firm, ready for the first layer.
Bonding the Felt Layers
Each layer is heat-bonded to the one below with laps staggered, so there is no direct path for water through the joints.
Detailing Edges & Upstands
Felt is dressed into trims, up walls and around outlets, and the site is cleared once the roof is finished.
