Felt Roof Repair Cost
Felt repairs are cheap when the deck is dry and a waste of money when it is not, and the whole skill is telling the difference before you spend anything. We lift a corner, we look, and then we tell you which of the two jobs you are actually buying.
- Patch weld to sound three layer torch on felt, low cost, quick
- Blister and split repair with the same membrane family
- Deck checked before any patch is recommended
- Ponding water treated as a symptom, not a cosmetic issue
- Replacement options in GRP, EPDM or new torch on felt
When a patch is genuinely the right call
When a patch is throwing money away

Felt roof repairs, common questions
Why does my flat roof only leak in heavy rain?+
Usually a lap or a detail that is watertight under light rain and overwhelmed when the volume rises, or standing water finding a pinhole once the pond gets deep enough. Both point at the detail rather than the whole field.
Is ponding water a problem?+
It is the clearest early warning you get. Standing water accelerates UV and freeze damage and tells you the falls are wrong. It rarely leaks on its own, and it reliably shortens the life of everything under it.
Can you re-cover over the old felt?+
Only where the existing is dry, well bonded and sound. Most of the time it is not, and overlaying a wet deck traps moisture between two waterproof layers, which is worse than doing nothing.
