Felt Roofing Contractors

DVC Commercial Roofing Contractors provide specialist felt roofing solutions for commercial and industrial buildings across the UK. Also known as roofing felt, bitumen felt and reinforced bitumen waterproofing, felt roofing provides a durable and reliable waterproofing solution for flat and low-pitched roofs.

Our experienced felt roofing contractors install, repair, refurbish and maintain flat roofing systems for offices, warehouses, industrial units, retail premises and other commercial properties.

Whether you need a new felt flat roof, torch-on felt roofing, repairs to an existing flat roof, or a complete replacement, we can assess your roof and recommend a suitable solution based on the building and its requirements.

What is Roofing Felt?

Roofing felt is a waterproof membrane commonly used on flat and low-pitched roofs. Modern commercial systems typically use reinforced bitumen membranes designed to provide strength, flexibility and long-term waterproofing.

The term roof felt is often used to describe these systems, while bitumen felt refers to membranes that use bitumen as part of their waterproofing construction.

Depending on the roof specification, a felt roofing system may include multiple layers of waterproofing, insulation and vapour control. When correctly designed and installed, these layers provide effective protection against water ingress and weather exposure.

Torch-on Felt Roofing

Torch-on felt is a reinforced bitumen waterproofing membrane that is heat bonded to the prepared roof surface. Torch-on felt roofing is widely used on commercial and industrial buildings because it provides a robust waterproofing layer when correctly specified and installed.

Careful attention is required around roof edges, upstands, joints, drainage outlets, flashings and service penetrations. Professional installation helps ensure these areas remain properly waterproofed.

DVC Roofing can specify and install torch-on felt systems to suit the requirements of individual commercial properties.

Felt Roof Repair & Refurbishment

Not every damaged felt roof needs to be completely replaced. Depending on its condition, targeted felt roof repair or refurbishment may be able to restore waterproofing and extend the life of the existing system.

Common problems include:

• Leaks and water ingress
• Damaged membranes
• Failed joints or laps
• Cracking and blistering
• Damaged flashings
• Defective roof details
• Drainage problems
• General age-related deterioration

Our roofing contractors can inspect the existing roof and determine whether repairs, refurbishment or complete replacement would provide the most appropriate long-term solution.
