Traditional Felt Roofing

Q: Is felt roofing good for a flat roof?

Yes. Felt can be a practical option for many flat and low-pitched roofs, particularly garages, extensions, porches and outbuildings. The suitability depends on the roof structure, drainage and intended use.

Q: How long does a felt roof last?

The lifespan depends on the type and quality of the felt system, installation quality, exposure to weather, roof design and maintenance. Regular inspections and prompt repairs can help maintain the roof and potentially extend its useful life.

Q: Is torch-on felt better than traditional felt?

Torch-on felt is a modern form of bitumen felt roofing that is installed using heat to bond the membrane to the roof. It can provide a durable and waterproof finish when professionally installed. The most suitable system depends on the property and roof requirements.

Q: Can a felt roof be repaired?

Yes. Localised cracks, splits and other damage can sometimes be repaired without replacing the entire roof. However, extensive deterioration or repeated leaks may indicate that a complete replacement would be more appropriate.

Q: What is the difference between felt, EPDM and GRP roofing?

These are different flat roofing systems with different characteristics. Felt can offer a cost-effective and familiar solution, EPDM provides a flexible rubber membrane, while GRP fibreglass creates a hard, seamless finished surface. The best option depends on the property, roof design and budget.

Why Choose Traditional Felt Roofing?

Choosing a roofing material depends on the property and what you want from your roof. Traditional felt roofing can be particularly attractive when affordability, reliable waterproofing and practical installation are priorities.

It is also a familiar roofing system that experienced roofers can repair, maintain and replace when necessary. For many garages, extensions and smaller flat roofs, felt provides a straightforward solution without unnecessary complexity.

However, felt is not automatically the best choice for every roof. EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass can offer different advantages, so we assess the property before making a recommendation.

At Brunel Roofing & Property Services, our approach is to explain the options clearly and help you choose a roofing system that suits your property's requirements and budget.
