Felt Roofing in St Albans

Torch-On Felt Roofing in St Albans

If your garage or extension has a felt roof that is cracking, blistering or holding water, TNR Roofing Services can repair it or strip it and lay a new torch-on felt system. We work on homes and commercial properties in St Albans, and every new roof is finished with felt dressed up the walls and drip trims at the edges.

Our felt roofers cover the AL1 to AL4 postcode districts, working from Hemel Hempstead. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, St Albans City and District Council can confirm whether the work needs consent, and the free survey gives you the details to take to them.

How it works

Our Process for St Albans Felt Roofs

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

What is torch-on felt?

It is a felt roofing system bonded with a gas torch. A base sheet is torched onto the primed deck, then a cap sheet with a mineral surface goes over it, with the laps staggered so no joint sits above another.

What do you do with the old felt and chippings?

We strip them off and take them away. How much old material there is forms part of the quote, and the site is cleared of felt and offcuts before we finish.

Is felt a good choice for a roof terrace?

Not usually. Felt handles occasional access for maintenance, but regular foot traffic wears the mineral surface and the laps. A hard GRP finish is generally better for a terrace or balcony.

Do you lay felt on commercial roofs in AL1 to AL4?

Yes. We repair and re-felt commercial roofs across the St Albans postcode districts as well as homes, and we arrange access to suit your premises.
