Felt Roofing in Hitchin

Torch-On Felt Roofing in Hitchin

A felt roof that is still flexible and well bonded can often be repaired, while one that is cracking all over is better replaced. Working out which applies is the first thing we do on any Hitchin roof. TNR Roofing Services repairs and re-felts flat roofs on homes and commercial properties, laying modern torch-on felt in bonded layers.

Felt roofing in SG4 and SG5 is handled from our Hemel Hempstead base. Every job begins with a free survey of the felt, the deck and the edges, and we are a vetted Checkatrade member with public liability insurance in place for the work we carry out.

Pricing

What Drives the Cost of Felt Roofing in Hitchin

Several details set the price of a felt roof in Hitchin, and we look at each one at 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

What Happens When We Re-Felt a Hitchin Roof

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

How can I tell if my felt roof needs replacing?

Felt that is cracking across the surface, leaks appearing in more than one place, or a deck that feels soft underfoot all point to replacement. A single split or blister on otherwise sound felt can usually be patched.

Why do you check the deck before re-felting?

New felt laid on a soft deck soon fails, however well it is bonded. We test the boards at the survey and replace any that have rotted, so the new roof has a firm base.

Do I need to contact North Hertfordshire District Council before re-felting?

If your Hitchin property is listed or in a conservation area, yes. Re-felting with a similar covering is otherwise treated as maintenance and does not normally need consent.

Can felt be fitted around a roof light?

Yes. We dress the felt up the upstand of a roof light, and up walls and around outlets, so each junction is sealed against the weather.
