Top Felt Roofing related questions

Yes! Felt roofing is a durable, waterproof material typically used for flat or slightly sloped roofs. It's cost-effective, easy to install, and protects against the UK's unpredictable weather.

The most common types are torch-on felt, self-adhesive felt, and cold-applied felt. Each has its pros and cons. Your roofer will help you choose the best option for your needs.

Properly installed and maintained felt roofs can last 10–20 years. But regular inspections and prompt repairs can extend their lifespan further.

Small felt roof repairs can often be completed in a few hours. However, full installations might take 1–3 days, depending on the roof's size and complexity. Be sure to discuss the working timeline with your Tasker to set the right expectations.

Felt roofing is ideal for flat roofs, extensions, garages, and sheds. Meanwhile, other materials may be more appropriate for pitched roofs. Consult with felt roofing contractors near you to determine the best solution.

Costs depend on the roof size, the felt, and the job's complexity. While booking, talk to your Tasker about working around your budget.

What can you expect from a felt roofer?

Once you've connected with a trusted felt roofing contractor near you, you can expect more than just a standard roofing job. Felt roofing is a specialised service. So, you can rest assured of exceptional durability, cost-efficiency, and weather resistance. Here are services felt roofers can offer:

Roof assessment

Before any work begins, your Tasker will thoroughly inspect your roof. This step pinpoints leaks, cracks, structural weaknesses, and other issues. From there, your roofer will assess whether you need minor felt roof repairs or a full replacement, ensuring you get an accurate estimate and a clear understanding of the scope of work. 

Range of options

Felt roofing is versatile, giving you several choices. But don't worry because your Tasker will guide you on what's best for your property, budget, and preferences. Traditional torch-on felt uses heat to create a durable, waterproof layer and is ideal for flat roofs.

Meanwhile, self-adhesive felt is a flame-free option for smaller spaces or areas with limited access. If you're looking for a quick and safe installation without heat, your roofer may suggest cold-applied felt.

Professional installation

New installations typically involve layering felt material over a base and securing it with adhesive or heat. Felt roofing contractors work with precise cuts, overlaps, and sealing to create a seamless, watertight finish. Whether it's a garage, shed, or extension, your roofer will deliver a clean result.

Edge trimming and detailing

Attention to detail is crucial for felt roofing. Roofers will carefully trim and secure edges to prevent wind lift and water infiltration. They'll also address features like vents, skylights, and gutters for a perfect fit and optimal performance.

Roof reinforcement and insulation

Many felt roofing projects include adding underlays or insulation layers to improve energy efficiency and enhance the roof's durability. This step ensures your property stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Efficient repairs

Taskers can provide targeted repairs if your felt roof is showing signs of damage—such as bubbling, cracking, or leaks. This usually involves patching holes, reapplying adhesive, or replacing entire felt sections to restore your roof's integrity.

Post-work cleanup and maintenance

Roofing projects can be messy, but professional help is available. Why not hire Taskers to clean and tidy up your space? They'll get rid of debris and waste materials and freshen up your property so you can come home to a spotless place.

Moreover, proper maintenance is key to long-lasting felt roofs. Remember to take note of tips from your roofer on caring for your felt roof, including spotting early signs of wear and tear. You can also schedule a future inspection and maintenance check with a roofer.
