Torch-On Felt Roofing in Watford

Most felt roof leaks start small. A lap lifts, a split opens, or the felt at a wall junction pulls away. Caught early, these can be patched with matching material, but left alone the water reaches the deck and the boards begin to rot. TNR Roofing Services handles everything from a single repair to a full torch-on re-felt for homes and commercial properties in Watford.

Felt repairs in WD17, WD18, WD19, WD24 and WD25 are run from our Hemel Hempstead base. The free survey checks the felt, the deck and the edges, and you get a no-obligation quote setting out whether a repair or a new roof makes better sense.

Pricing

Understanding Your Watford Felt Roof Quote

Watford felt roof prices are set by the following, each assessed at your free 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

The Way We Work on Watford 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

Which Watford postcodes do you cover for felt roofing?

All of them: WD17, WD18, WD19, WD24 and WD25. Any felt roof in Watford qualifies for a free survey and quote.

What are drip trims for on a felt roof?

They finish the edge of the roof and throw water clear into the gutter, so it does not run back under the felt or down the face of the wall. We fit them as part of every new felt roof.

Do you deal with emergency felt roof leaks?

Yes. We offer a 24/7 emergency response for leaks, and once the roof is safe we come back to survey it and quote for a lasting repair or re-felt.

Is planning permission needed to re-felt a roof in Watford?

Not usually, as re-felting is normally treated as maintenance. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with Watford Borough Council before work starts.
