Built-Up Felt Roofs Laid Layer by Layer
Felt is one of the most widely used coverings for flat roofs on extensions, garages and dormers. A modern felt roof is built up in layers, each one bonded to the last, so you get several barriers between the weather and the deck rather than a single skin.
The system normally starts with a base layer fixed to the deck, followed by a cap sheet with a mineral finish on top. The mineral surface protects the felt from sunlight and gives the roof a neat, even look. Edges, upstands and outlets are dressed carefully, as these are where water tries hardest to get in.
We lay felt roofs across Inverness, the Great Glen and Fort William. Before any work starts, you get a FREE, no-obligation quote setting out what the job involves, how many layers your roof will have and whether any decking needs replacing first.

Roof Area
The bigger the roof, the more felt and labour it takes to build up each layer across it.
Number of Layers
The build-up specified for your roof affects how much material is used and how long it takes to lay.
State of the Decking
Soft or rotten boards found under the old felt need replacing before the new layers go down.
Upstands & Outlets
Roofs that meet walls, windows or several outlets need more detailing, which adds time to the job.

How a Felt Roof Is Laid
- Step 1
Preparing the Deck
The old felt is stripped and the boards checked, with any soft sections replaced so the new layers bond to a clean, firm surface.
- Step 2
Laying the Base Layer
A base layer is fixed or bonded across the whole deck, with the sheets lapped so water is shed over each joint rather than into it.
- Step 3
Bonding the Cap Sheet
The mineral surfaced cap sheet is bonded over the base, with laps staggered from the layer below to keep the build-up watertight.
- Step 4
Detailing & Handover
Upstands, edges and outlets are finished off, then we review the completed felt roof with you and confirm it is all as agreed.
