Felt Roofing in North Yorkshire
Recommended Flat Felt Roof Installation & Repair
Felt is a versatile material commonly made from natural materials like wood cellulose, which is soaked in a protective asphalt layer, known as bitumen. This can be applied to a range of roof types, including garages, sheds, outbuildings and roof terraces.
As trusted, experienced roofers, we can install durable, affordable felt roofing for North Yorkshire home and business owners.
How is felt roofing applied?
To ensure the best results, we recommend a three-layer application method for felt roofs. This method provides long-lasting and reliable protection against leaks and other potential issues. Felt is also a low-maintenance roofing material, making it an excellent choice for those seeking an easy-to-care-for option.
How is Felt Roofing Installed?
Felt roofs are crafted from high-quality materials such as polyester and bitumen, applied using a torch-on three-layer method.
The first layer is nailed down, and the remaining two layers are torched down in a cross-bonded pattern for maximum durability and leak resistance.

FAQs about felt roofs
Our customers often ask for advice about our roofing solutions, so we have put together a list of the most common questions and their answers:
How many kinds of roofing felt are there?
There are approximately twenty, ranging from basic Standard 2mm felt to High Performance Polyester 6mm cap sheets.
Do felt flat roofs need to be covered with chippings or shingles?
This is not 100% necessary. New high-performance felts have a granular mineral finish on the top layer, which provides UV and Solar protection.
How long will a new felt roof last?
The quality of the material selected for the roof and the roof's orientation relative to the sun will determine this. On average, most good systems will last over 20 years.

Costs will vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the roof, the roofing material chosen, and the time and materials needed to complete the job. No two felt roofing jobs are the same. Contact us, and we will be happy to provide a free site survey and a no-obligation quote.
What is felt roofing?
Felt roofing is primarily made up of modified bitumen combined with either fibreglass or polyester. Felt roofing often consists of several layers of material that are laid together and sealed at the edges, forming a tight, durable bond between your property and the outside elements.
There are several methods for applying a felt roof to a building, but the most common technique today is to use a blowtorch to partially melt one side of the felt until it becomes sticky. This side is then stuck down.
