Why felt roofing still makes practical sense
Layered weather protection
The membrane build-up and sealed joints help keep flat roofs dry through rough weather.
Good for more than houses
The system suits residential, commercial and industrial flat-roof settings.
Long cover on installation
A 20-year guarantee gives clear backing on every new felt roof we install.
A proven flat-roof system for all sorts of buildings
A felt roof still earns its keep when it is built properly. It suits homes, commercial premises and industrial buildings where you need a weatherproof flat-roof covering that can cope with day-to-day exposure. We install new felt roofs, replace tired coverings and refurbish ageing flat roofs that are starting to let water in. With Trade Right Paving & Roofing Ltd, the important parts are never treated as background details. The roof deck, layered membrane, sealed joints, edge detailing and rainwater outlets all need to work together if the roof is going to keep water moving in the right direction.
Falls, edges and drainage decide how it lasts
Flat roofs catch people out because they look simple from the ground. In practice, the success of a felt roof depends on sound falls, tidy perimeter work and outlets that can deal with rainfall instead of letting it linger. We assess whether the roof needs a fresh installation, a replacement covering or a wider refurbishment and then build the work around the condition of the deck and the drainage layout. With Trade Right Paving & Roofing Ltd, every felt roof installation is backed by a 20-year guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Where is felt roofing usually a good fit?
Felt roofing is commonly used on flat roofs for homes, commercial units and industrial buildings. It is a practical option for new coverings, replacements and refurbishments where you want a proven weatherproof system with proper detailing.
Why do falls and outlets matter on a felt roof?
Water needs a clear route off the roof. If the falls are poor or the outlets are badly set out, water can sit on the surface and put extra strain on joints and edges. That is why we pay close attention to drainage before laying the system.
Is there a guarantee on a new felt roof?
Yes. Every felt roof installation is backed by a 20-year guarantee. We explain the roof build-up, the condition of the deck and the work needed around edges and outlets so you know exactly what is being installed before the job starts.
