Give your flat roof a fresh start.

It uses layers of compatible roofing felt installed as a system. The exact specification depends on the roof, substrate and product being used.

A local repair may suit an isolated defect, but widespread splits, failed details or a wet deck can require more extensive work. An inspection should establish the cause.

That depends on its condition and the proposed system. Wet, unstable or unsuitable existing layers should be assessed before any overlay is considered.

Damaged decking needs addressing before a new covering is installed. Ask how concealed defects will be recorded and any additional work agreed.

Drainage falls and outlet positions need assessing. Replacing the covering alone may not resolve problems caused by the roof’s underlying shape.

The system needs appropriate detailing at walls, rooflights and edges. Ask for these junctions and any associated flashings to be included in the scope.

Discuss insulation, ventilation and moisture control as part of the roof specification. Added thickness can affect thresholds, outlets and edge heights.

Keep outlets clear and arrange inspections for lifting edges, splits or damage. Avoid dragging equipment or placing sharp objects on the surface.

Size, access, existing condition, preparation, materials and detailing influence the price. Ask for an itemised written quotation that identifies waste removal, any access equipment and exclusions.

Send your postcode, clear photographs of the felt roofing area, approximate dimensions and a description of the result you want. Include any access restrictions or existing problems so the team can discuss the next step.
