Flat Roofing
At Young’s Roofing, our roofers are torch-on felt specialists. this traditional flat roofing system involves applying multiple layers of bituminous felt using a gas torch. The layers are heated and bonded directly onto the roof surface, creating an extremely durable, seamless and waterproof membrane.
Typically, a torch-on felt roof consists of a triple-layer system is highly effective at keeping out water and withstanding temperature extremes, making it one of the most trusted options for flat roofing in the UK.
A base layer for adhesion
A reinforcement layer for strength and flexibility
A top cap sheet, often finished with a mineral surface to protect against UV and weather
Flat Roofing
Torch-on felt roofing continues to be a popular choice for several reasons:
Waterproof and Weather-Resistant - The torch-on application process creates a completely sealed surface, preventing leaks and standing water from penetrating the roof.
Long Lifespan- When professionally installed and maintained, a torch-on felt roof can last 15–25 years or more.
Durable and Hard-Wearing - Resistant to UV rays, temperature fluctuations, and foot traffic—ideal for garages, extensions, and outbuildings.
Cost-Effective- Compared to other flat roofing options, torch-on felt provides excellent performance at a reasonable cost.
Flat Roofing
Modern torch-on felt roofing is a major improvement over older felt systems. Traditional felt was nailed or cold-applied and prone to leaks, cracks and early wear. In contrast, torch-on felt uses heat to bond multiple reinforced layers directly to the roof, creating a seamless, waterproof finish. It lasts longer, looks smarter, and performs better in harsh weather.
With a lifespan of 15–25 years, it is now the go-to choice for durable, low-maintenance flat roofing—ideal for garages, extensions, and commercial properties.
