Felt Roofing in Yeadon, Leeds

A lot of people think of old-fashioned felt that used to bubble and peel after a few years, but things have moved on significantly. We specialise in high-performance torch-on felt, which is a world away from the DIY rolls you might see at the hardware store. We install a professional three-layer system that creates a incredibly tough, waterproof seal. It starts with a vapour control layer to stop moisture from inside your house causing rot, followed by a reinforced underlay. The final touch is a mineral cap sheet, which has a layer of tiny slate granules to protect the bitumen from UV rays. This isn't just a quick fix; it's a durable solution designed to handle proper Yorkshire weather.

Is water sitting in puddles on your flat roof for days after a downpour? This is what we call 'ponding,' and it's the number one cause of roof failure in Yeadon. When water sits there, it puts pressure on the seams and can cause the decking underneath to rot. Whether you need a simple patch repair or you've decided it's time for a full roof replacement, we'll give you an honest assessment. We check every detail, from the upstands where the roof meets the wall to the lead flashing around your chimney. Our goal is to make sure your roof drains properly so you don't have to worry every time the clouds turn grey.

When you're looking at roofing options, price is always a factor. Most homeowners we speak to in Leeds want something that’s dependable but fits a sensible budget. That’s where felt roofing really shines. It’s versatile enough to fit awkward shapes—like those dormers on Yeadon’s traditional terraces—and tough enough for a large commercial unit. Plus, if we’re doing a full re-roof, we can often upgrade your insulation at the same time. This keeps your home warmer and helps you comply with Part L Building Regulations, which is basically a win-win for your comfort and your energy bills.

Choosing a roofer can feel like a bit of a gamble, but we try to make it as easy as possible. Renovation Roofing Ltd is a fully registered company, and we carry £5 million in public liability insurance for your peace of mind. We're locals who know the Yeadon area inside out, from the houses near the Tarn to the exposed spots up towards Guiseley. We don’t do high-pressure sales or hidden extras—just straightforward, professional workmanship. We’ll even handle things like skip permits if they’re needed on a public road, so you don't have to deal with the paperwork.
