Built-up Felt Roofing
Felt roofing done properly by trusted professionals
At Monarch Roofing, we offer expert installation of built-up felt roofing systems for flat and low-pitched roofs across domestic, commercial, and industrial properties. Whether you need a new flat roof for an extension, garage, or outbuilding, or you’re replacing an ageing surface, our felt roofs are built for durability and performance.
We use multi-layered bituminous felt, applied using torch-on methods for a long-lasting, waterproof finish. Our systems are suitable for both warm roof and cold roof constructions, ensuring energy efficiency and structural integrity whatever your requirements.
With 28 years of hands-on experience, our team delivers a smooth, tidy installation, backed by full NFRC CPS certification and a 10-year QANW insurance-backed guarantee for total peace of mind.
We’ll advise on the most suitable method for your project and ensure full compliance with building regulations.

A properly installed, torch-on felt roof can last 15 to 25 years, depending on conditions and maintenance.
Absolutely – it’s a popular choice for extensions, dormers, porches, and garages due to its affordability and solid waterproofing.
Felt is layered and torch-applied, offering strong waterproofing and value. EPDM is a rubber membrane, and fibreglass (GRP) offers a seamless, rigid finish. We’re happy to advise on what’s best for your needs.
We offer flat roof repairs where possible, but if the felt has widespread bubbling, splitting, or water ingress, a replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run.
