Felt Roofing in Trawden, Lancashire

<p>When people think of felt roofs, they often imagine the old, thin layers that used to crack and peel after a couple of years. Thankfully, technology has moved on! We specialise in <strong>torch-on felt</strong>, which is a much more durable and sophisticated solution. This isn't your grandad's shed felt; it's a heavy-duty, bitumen-based system that we heat-bond directly to your roof's surface to create a completely seamless, waterproof barrier.</p><p>Most homeowners we chat with are surprised to learn that a <strong>three-layer system</strong> is the industry standard for quality. This involves a vapour control layer, a reinforced underlay, and a tough <strong>mineral cap sheet</strong> on top. This top layer doesn't just look neat; those little mineral granules protect the bitumen from UV rays, preventing it from getting brittle in the summer sun. It's a cost-effective way to get a roof that performs brilliantly without the higher price tag of some other materials.</p>

<p>Have you noticed water sitting in puddles on your flat roof after a storm? In the trade, we call that <strong>ponding</strong>, and while it might not seem urgent, it's often the first sign of trouble. Over time, that standing water can find its way through the tiniest imperfections, leading to <strong>water ingress</strong> and rot in the timber decking below. If you've spotted 'alligatoring'—where the felt starts to look like cracked skin—or if the edges are starting to lift, it's definitely time to give us a call.</p><p>We don't believe in selling you something you don't need. Sometimes a simple repair to the <strong>lead flashing</strong> or a bit of patching is all that's required to get another few years out of your roof. However, if the substrate is soft or the felt has reached the end of its life, we'll give you an honest appraisal and a clear, fixed-price quote for a replacement. We'll even look at your insulation to ensure you're meeting current Building Regulations, which can actually help lower your heating bills.</p>
