At Simpson Dennis Roofing Services, we’ve specialised in built-up felt systems for nearly 40 years—and for good reason. This method has stood the test of time for flat roofs across both domestic and commercial properties. Here’s why it remains our roofing solution of choice:
Versatile & Cost-Effective
Built-up felt roofing is a proven method that offers a cost-effective solution without compromising on performance. It’s widely used thanks to its:
-
Excellent resistance to weather, heat, and physical impact
-
Versatility to suit a wide range of insulation types and roof designs
-
Eco-friendly composition and robust fire resistance
Durability & Longevity
The multi-layer system is engineered to last. We use Chesterfelt Laser Gold, a premium felt product with a 20-year manufacturer’s guarantee. In line with that, we offer a full 20-year company guarantee on all new flat roof installations using this system.
Flexibility & Adaptability
Built-up felt is designed to accommodate building movement and minor settlement cracks without compromising waterproofing—an essential feature for long-lasting performance and one that supports our industry-leading guarantee.
Superior Fire Resistance
Built-up felt systems meet stringent fire safety standards. Chesterfelt Laser Gold is independently tested and proven to offer high levels of fire protection—giving you peace of mind in both residential and commercial applications.
Versatility for All Roof Types
Whether you’re looking for a:
-
Warm roof
-
Green roof
-
Inverted roof
-
Submerged roof
…we’ve got you covered. Our team can advise and quote for any of these designs using our trusted built-up felt method.
Aesthetic Appeal
Gone are the days of the traditional green mineral finish. We now offer a charcoal grey finish—a sleeker, more modern look that pairs beautifully with today’s popular anthracite grey windows, fascias, soffits, and guttering. In fact, 95% of our flat roofs now use this updated finish.
Experience You Can Rely On
All in all over the years we’ve stuck to what we know, and steered away from the rubber and fibre glass roof sections, our knowledge from been around for nearly 40 years has led us to believe that we’d struggle to hand the 20 year guarantee out on these products.
We have expert built-up felt roof installers with over 30 years’ experience and we guarantee your flat roof section using this method for 20 years, it has Simpson Dennis Roofing Services stamp of approval.
