Understanding Felt Roofing: A Tried and Tested Choice for Plymouth Homes

Felt roofing has been a popular and effective choice for flat roofs in Plymouth for many years, offering a robust and cost-effective solution. Typically installed using a torch-on method, it involves multiple layers of modified bitumen felt, which are fused together to create a tough, resilient, and waterproof surface. This makes it an ideal option for garages, extensions, dormer windows, or even low-pitch main roofs where traditional tiling isn't suitable. Felt is known for its durability and relatively straightforward repair process, often providing many years of reliable protection when fitted correctly. It's a solid choice for many homeowners and businesses looking for a practical flat roof solution.

FAQ

Your Felt Roofing Questions Answered

Find answers to common questions about traditional felt roofing, from repairs to new installations for homes and businesses in Crownhill and across Plymouth.

Thinking About a New Felt Roof? Your Questions Answered

+

Felt roofing, often referred to as 'torch-on felt', has been a reliable choice for flat roofs in the UK for many years. It’s a versatile and robust solution for garages, extensions, porches, and even some main house roofs. Here at Devon and Cornwall Roofing, we frequently get asked questions about this popular material. As a local, experienced roofer, I’m here to provide clear answers.

What is Felt Roofing and When Is It a Good Choice?

+

Felt roofing typically involves multiple layers of bitumen-based felt, applied using a torch-on method, creating a strong, waterproof seal. It’s especially good for flat roofs or those with a very low pitch where water needs to run off effectively. Many people choose felt for its proven durability, cost-effectiveness, and the reliable protection it offers against the often-unpredictable weather across Devon and Cornwall. It's a fantastic option for everything from a small shed to a larger commercial building in, say, Exeter or Truro, where you need a tough, long-lasting surface.

How Long Does a Torch-On Felt Roof Usually Last, and Can It Be Repaired?

+

A properly installed torch-on felt roof, using quality materials, can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years, sometimes even longer, depending on the environment and how well it's maintained. Here in the South West, our coastal winds and heavy rain mean that quality of installation is key.
Yes, felt roofs can absolutely be repaired! Common issues include small tears, blistering, or localised leaks around details like a chimney or upstands. As your local roofer, I can often repair specific damaged sections without needing to replace the entire roof, saving you time and money. If you spot any problems – perhaps a damp patch on your ceiling or visible cracks on the roof surface – please give me a call straight away. Catching issues early helps prevent more extensive damage.
