Felt Roofing in Bishop's Stortford

Torch-On Felt Roofing in Bishop's Stortford

Felt is still the covering on a great many flat-roofed garages and extensions, and when it starts to fail it usually shows as a blister, a lifted lap or a damp patch on the ceiling below. TNR Roofing Services lays new torch-on felt roofs and repairs worn felt for homes and commercial properties in Bishop's Stortford.

Felt roofing across CM22 and CM23 is carried out from our Hemel Hempstead base. The free survey tells you whether the felt can be patched or needs stripping back to the deck, and because we also lay GRP and EPDM, we only recommend felt where it genuinely suits the roof and your budget.

Pricing

What Goes into a Felt Roof Price in Bishop's Stortford

Felt roofs in Bishop's Stortford are priced after a free survey, and these are the details that move the figure:

  • 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

How We Lay Felt Roofs in Bishop's Stortford

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 long does a torch-on felt roof last?

A well-laid modern torch-on felt roof typically lasts around 20 years, depending on the materials, the fall of the roof and how much sun it takes. Older single-layer felt usually wears out much sooner.

What is a mineral cap sheet?

It is the top layer of a torch-on felt roof. The mineral surface shields the felt from sunlight and wear, and the sheet is bonded over a base sheet with the laps staggered, so rain has more than one barrier to get past.

Do I need East Hertfordshire District Council approval to re-felt a roof?

Re-felting with a similar covering is usually treated as maintenance. If your Bishop's Stortford home is listed or in a conservation area, or the work changes the height or shape of the roof, check with East Hertfordshire District Council before it starts.

Do you re-felt commercial roofs in CM22 and CM23?

Yes. We lay and repair felt on shops, workshops and other commercial premises as well as homes, and arrange the work around your opening hours where we can.
