High Performance Felt Roofing in Heron House

Modern multi-layer bituminous felt systems offer robust, cost-effective waterproofing for flat roofs. GB Roofing Ltd installs high performance felt specifications designed to resist UV degradation and heavy foot traffic.

When You Need High Performance Felt

Bubbling or blistering on your felt flat roof indicates trapped moisture expanding underneath. Rips, tears, or exposed substrate material on the roof surface leave the deck vulnerable to leaks. Water pooling that persists for more than 48 hours after rain accelerates felt deterioration. Felt roofs reaching 15 to 20 years of age often require complete overlay or replacement.

How We Do It

We examine the flat roof deck for rot, moisture retention, or structural weakness. We strip old, failing felt layers down to the bare deck and repair any damaged timber or insulation. We torch-apply a robust multi-layer high performance felt system featuring a vapor control layer, insulation, and mineral cap sheet. We detail all edge trims, upstands, and outlets to ensure complete weather protection.

What to Expect

Standard felt roof installations take 1 to 3 days depending on the size of the area and weather conditions.
