Installing Felt Roofing - The Process

Free Professional Survey: We begin with a free site survey to assess your roof requirements and determine the best solution for your property.
Preparation: Before installation, we prepare the roof surface by cleaning and ensuring it is free from debris. This step is crucial for achieving a strong bond between the felt layers and the roof.
Installing The Underlay: The first layer of our felt roofing installation is the underlay. This layer provides a base for the subsequent layers and helps to create a smooth surface. It also adds an extra level of protection against water ingress.
Installing The Intermediate Layer: The intermediate layer is applied over the underlay to provide additional strength and durability to the roof, ensuring it can withstand harsh weather conditions. It also helps to improve the overall insulation of the roof.
Installing The Cap Sheet: The final layer is the cap sheet, which is designed to be highly durable and weather-resistant, providing the ultimate protection for your roof. It also gives the roof a clean and finished appearance.
Finishing Touches: Once all three layers are installed, we perform a thorough inspection to ensure the roof is watertight and properly sealed. We also clean up the worksite, leaving your property tidy and free from debris.
5-Year Guarantee: We offer a 5-year guarantee on all our roofing projects, providing you with peace of mind and assurance of our quality workmanship.

Regular maintenance includes clearing debris, checking for damage, and repairing any issues promptly. Applying a UV-resistant coating every few years can extend the roof’s life. It is also advisable to have the roof professionally inspected annually.

Can a felt roof be repaired if damaged?

Yes, small areas of damage can often be patched with roofing cement, felt patches, or sealant. However, if the felt is near the end of its lifespan or the damage is extensive, a new roof installation is usually recommended.
