Felt Roofing in Cheshunt

Torch-On Felt Roofing in Cheshunt

The single sagging sheet of felt found on many older garages is a long way from a modern torch-on system. Today a felt roof is built up in bonded layers, with a base sheet on the deck and a mineral cap sheet on top. TNR Roofing Services lays these roofs and repairs worn felt for homes and commercial properties in Cheshunt.

Felt roofs in EN7 and EN8 are looked after from our base in Hemel Hempstead. At the free survey we check the existing felt for splits and standing water, test the deck for soft spots, and tell you plainly whether patching or re-felting makes more sense.

Pricing

Pricing Felt Roofs in Cheshunt

Cheshunt felt roof quotes come down to these factors, each checked on the roof during the survey:

  • The number of felt layers specified, from a two-layer system to a heavier three-layer build-up
  • How much old felt and loose chippings need stripping and taking away
  • The condition of the deck boards and how many need replacing before the new felt goes down
  • Upstands, abutments, roof lights and outlets that the felt has to be dressed around
  • Safe access to the roof, such as a tower or scaffold on a taller extension

How it works

From Survey to New Felt Roof in Cheshunt

What happens from your first call to the finished work.

  1. Free Survey and Deck Check

    We look for splits, blisters, lifted laps and standing water on the existing felt, and test the deck for soft or sagging areas, so the quote reflects what is really there.

  2. Stripping and Priming

    Old felt and loose chippings are removed, rotten boards are replaced, and the deck is cleaned and primed so the new layers bond firmly.

  3. Torching on the Layers

    The base sheet is torched onto the deck, then the mineral cap sheet is bonded over it with the laps staggered so no joint sits above another.

  4. Edges, Upstands and Handover

    Felt is dressed up walls and finished at the drip trims and outlets. We clear old felt and offcuts from site, then review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is felt cheaper than GRP or EPDM?

Felt is usually the lower-cost system to install, which is why it remains popular on garages and outbuildings. GRP and EPDM tend to cost more at the outset but generally last longer, and we set out both sides when we quote.

Should I choose a two-layer or three-layer felt roof?

Both are bonded torch-on systems. A three-layer build-up is heavier, while two layers suit many smaller roofs. We specify the number of layers after seeing your Cheshunt roof and how it is used.

Does Broxbourne Borough Council need to approve re-felting?

Usually not, as like-for-like re-felting is treated as maintenance. Where an EN7 or EN8 property is listed or in a conservation area, ask Broxbourne Borough Council before the old felt comes off.

Do you take the old felt away?

Yes. Old felt and loose chippings are stripped and removed as part of the job, and we clear offcuts from site before we hand the roof back to you.
