If you're thinking about a 'felt roof' and imagining the thin, papery stuff from thirty years ago, think again. The modern torch-on felt systems we install are a completely different beast. We use a multi-layer approach, starting with a vapour barrier, followed by a reinforced underlay, and finished with a heavy-duty mineral cap sheet. These layers are thermally bonded together using a torch, creating a seamless, impenetrable barrier against the elements. It’s tough, it’s flexible, and it handles the freeze-thaw cycles of a Shirebrook winter without breaking a sweat.
Why choose this over other options? It’s incredibly cost-effective and proven to last over 20 years when fitted by pros like us. We take care of all the tricky bits too, like the upstands where the roof meets the wall and the lead flashing that keeps the edges sealed tight. Most homeowners we talk to are surprised at how quickly we can transform a tired, peeling roof into something that looks sharp and performs even better. Because we’re local, we can usually get out to you for a survey within a day or two. Call 0115 647 1479 to book yours.
