Felt Roof Replacement in Leeds — Expert Flat Roofing
Why Replace Your Felt Roof?
Mineral felt roofing has a typical lifespan of 10–20 years depending on quality and exposure. Once a felt roof begins to fail, patching rarely solves the underlying problem — water finds new routes and damage spreads to the roof deck and interior. Felt roof replacement in Leeds removes failing layers entirely, allowing us to inspect and repair the substrate before laying a fresh high-performance felt system.
ProMax uses torch-on felt and 3-layer mineral felt systems — materials significantly more durable than the original single-ply roofing found on many Leeds properties. Every installation includes proper drip edge detailing, upstand sealing, and outlet clearance to prevent ponding. With 15 years of experience in West Yorkshire, we know what flat roofing systems perform best in the wet, wind-driven conditions typical across Leeds and Bradford.
Signs you need felt roof replacement: visible cracks or splits in the surface, bubbling or blistering felt, persistent interior damp patches, moss or algae growth indicating water retention, or a roof older than 15 years showing wear. If you spot any of these, contact our Leeds team for a free assessment — early action prevents expensive structural damage.
Our Felt Roofing Process
Every felt roof replacement in Leeds starts with a full condition survey. We assess the existing decking, falls, outlets, and upstands before stripping any material. Damaged or soft decking boards are replaced, ensuring a solid, dry substrate for the new system.
We then apply a bonding layer before laying the first underlay sheet. The cap sheet — mineral-surfaced torch-on felt — is applied with full overlap and careful detailing at all abutments, edges, and penetrations. All upstands are dressed and sealed to prevent water ingress at the critical junction between roof and wall.
On completion we carry out a water test and provide a written guarantee. Most felt roofing jobs in Leeds are completed in one to two days, minimising disruption. Our director-led approach means you get an experienced eye on every stage — not a subcontracted crew who has never seen the job before.
We also serve Wakefield, Bradford, Harrogate, and Huddersfield. We also offer GRP fibreglass roofing and EPDM rubber roofing as long-life flat roof alternatives — ask us to compare options for your property.
