01

The job

A flat roof between two brick parapet walls, re-covered in torch-on felt by our own team. Parapet roofs need care at the edges, because water collects against the walls if the felt is not taken properly up to them.

02

What the photos show

The felt going down with a roofer on the deck, the cap sheet being laid with the gas torch, and the finished roof running up to both parapet walls. Torch-on felt is bonded with heat, so the layers fuse into one waterproof covering.

03

Planning a similar job?

Our flat roof price guide is £500 to £1,500 for a repair and £1,000 to £6,500 for a flat re-roof. Your free survey checks the covering, the deck and the edges, and your written quote lists the work before anything starts.

How torch-on felt is laid

Torch-on felt goes down in layers. The base layer is bonded to a sound deck, then the cap sheet is rolled out and heated with a gas torch so it fuses to the layer below. The result is one continuous waterproof covering with no loose laps for wind to lift.

Parapet roofs like this one need extra care at the edges. The felt is taken up the walls as an upstand so water collecting against the brickwork cannot get underneath. See our flat roofs service and the flat roof cost guide.

Signs your roof needs similar work

  • Water pooling against a parapet wall
  • Felt cracked or lifting at the upstands
  • Damp on the ceiling under the flat roof
  • Blisters across the old covering
