What a felt roofing job covers
Felt is still the right answer for most domestic flat roofs under 30m². Three-layer torch-on with a mineral cap-sheet is bombproof for the price, and a typical garage costs less than a long weekend’s holiday. We don’t do single-layer pour-and-roll work, every felt roof we lay is built up properly.

Larger flat-extension roofs sit higher; spec, deck condition, insulation and access all push the figure about. Different firms land in different places too — larger outfits with bigger overheads tend to price firmer than a small directly-employed local team like ours. Until we’ve measured up, any number is just a starting point.
Roof size. m² coverage drives the felt and labour.
Deck condition. Soft OSB needs replacing before the felt goes down.
Insulation. Adding rigid insulation lifts spec and price.
Number of upstands. Walls and parapets add lead detailing.
Access. Working over a conservatory adds protection and time.
