What Is Felt Roofing?
Felt roofing is a reliable, budget-friendly option for flat or gently sloped roofs. It’s made by layering sheets of bitumen-coated fabric or polyester felt, which are then sealed using heat or adhesive for a strong, watertight finish.
This tried-and-true method has been used for decades on everything from home extensions to commercial buildings. It’s quick to install, highly effective at keeping out water, and a great choice if you’re looking for dependable protection without the premium price tag.
Types of Felt Roofing Materials
Not all felt roofing is created equal. We offer a range of high-quality materials to suit different needs, budgets, and building types—whether you’re roofing a home extension, garage, or garden shed.
Here’s a quick guide to the main options:
- Traditional Bitumen Felt - A classic choice that’s cost-effective and reliable. Great for basic waterproofing on sheds and smaller roofs.
- Polyester-Based Felt - Reinforced for extra durability and flexibility, this option handles movement better—ideal for larger or more exposed roofs.
- Torch-On Felt Membranes - Applied using heat for a seamless, long-lasting bond. Offers excellent waterproofing, UV resistance, and a longer lifespan—perfect for flat roofs on homes or commercial buildings.
- Self-Adhesive Felt - A safer, flame-free alternative for smaller projects. Easy to apply and a solid choice for DIY-friendly roofing.

Why Choose Felt Roof Installation for Your Property?
Felt roofing remains a favourite for homeowners due to its affordability, ease of application, and long-term resilience. It adapts beautifully to UK climates and protects extensions, garages, and outbuildings with dependable waterproof coverage. Here’s why Felt Roof is a trusted option for homeowners:
Durability and Weather Resistance
Modern felt roofing offers excellent resistance to wind, rain, and harsh temperature swings. Reinforced layers and torch-on application methods ensure your roof stays sealed and secure, even during extreme weather. It’s a trusted shield against leaks and water ingress.
Cost-Effective Flat Roofing Solution
Felt roofing is one of the most budget-friendly ways to protect flat roofs without compromising quality. It’s quick to install, low maintenance, and cost-efficient across both materials and labour—making it ideal for homeowners looking to balance protection and price.
Ideal for Sheds, Garages, and Extensions
Compact structures like sheds, garages, and home extensions benefit immensely from felt roofing’s ease of application and reliable coverage. Its flexibility adapts well to various shapes and sizes, offering tailored weatherproofing for every corner of your property.
Signs You Need a Felt Roof Replacement
Felt roofs are durable, but like any roofing material, they don’t last forever. Catching early warning signs can help you avoid costly damage down the line. If your roof is showing wear—or simply getting on in years—it might be time to think about a replacement.
Here are the key signs to watch for:
- Cracks or Splits - These can let in moisture and lead to serious leaks if left unchecked.
- Bubbling or Blistering - Often caused by trapped air or moisture under the surface—an early indicator of material failure.
- Ponding Water - Standing water after rain can signal poor drainage or sagging in the roof structure.
- Lifting or Peeling Seams - Exposed edges can break the waterproof seal and allow water to seep in.
- Leaks After Heavy Rain - If water is making its way inside, it’s definitely time to act.
- Roof Age Over 15 Years - Even with no visible issues, older roofs often lose effectiveness and may no longer meet current standards.
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, we recommend booking a professional inspection to assess the condition of your roof and discuss the best next steps.
Our Felt Roofing Installation Process
From start to finish, we follow a clear, professional process to ensure your felt roof is installed to the highest standards. Here’s what you can expect:
01 Roof Inspection & Planning
We begin with a thorough roof inspection to assess its condition, identify any issues, and recommend the best felt roofing system for your needs.
02 Surface Preparation
We remove any old materials, repair structural problems, and clean the surface to create a solid, reliable base.
03 Underlay & Insulation Installation
A high-performance underlay is applied for added waterproofing and thermal efficiency—helping your roof stay warm, dry, and energy-efficient.
04 Torch-On Felt Application
Using a torch-on method, we securely apply multiple layers of felt for a durable, watertight finish that meets British Standards.
05 Sealing & Final Inspection
We seal all edges and joints to prevent leaks, then carry out a full quality check to ensure everything’s perfect before we sign off.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Felt Roofing Options
We also offer eco-conscious felt options, including recyclable bitumen blends and low-impact materials. When combined with energy-efficient insulation, these systems help reduce heat loss, lower energy bills, and shrink your carbon footprint—without compromising on performance or durability.
We’re happy to guide you through sustainable choices that suit both your property and the planet.
Comparing Felt Roofing vs. Other Flat Roof Options
Felt roofing offers a time-proven balance of durability and affordability, but how does it stack against newer alternatives? Here’s how it compares with EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, and advanced membrane systems in performance, cost, and installation ease.
Felt vs. EPDM Rubber Roofing
While EPDM offers impressive lifespan and eco-resilience, felt roofing is more affordable and easier to repair locally. It’s often preferred for smaller projects and offers a traditional aesthetic EPDM can’t replicate without custom finishes.
Felt vs. GRP Fibreglass Roofing
GRP is sleek and strong but comes at a higher cost and requires specialist installation. Felt roofing, in contrast, is forgiving, flexible, and faster to install—especially on irregular or smaller surfaces like outbuildings or dormers.
Felt vs. TPO and PVC Membranes
TPO and PVC systems excel in commercial roofing, offering reflective surfaces and welded seams. Yet for domestic flat roofs, felt remains a practical choice—easier to source, quicker to install, and perfectly weatherproof with torch-on systems.

Felt Roof Repair Services

Spot Repairs vs. Full Re-Felting
Small issues like tears can be patched, but widespread wear often needs full re-felting for better insulation and long-term protection. We’ll recommend what’s best for your roof.
