Signs to look for

Signs the felt under your tiles has failed

Daylight or damp in the loft

Torn or brittle felt lets wind-driven rain past the tiles and onto the timbers.

Felt sagging at the eaves

Old felt rots where it dips into the gutter. Eave support trays stop it happening again.

Tiles slipping on rotten battens

Thin, untreated battens rot and split, and the tiles go with them.

How Shane does it

How a refelt and batten works

The tiles come off and are stacked to reuse. Old felt and battens are stripped, then breathable felt, eave support trays and new treated 25x50 battens go on, and the tiles are relaid with a dry ridge and verge where the old mortar has failed.

In Hersham Shane's team did a refelt and batten and pointed the chimney in three days, salvaging reclaimed replacement tiles because the originals are no longer in production. In Bagshot an emergency refelt and batten before a solar install was one day, in and out, no mess left.

Amazing work from Shane and the team who replaced the felt and batten on a property I recently purchased! Highly recommend! Will most definitely call out again for future works.

Roof underfelt install and tile replacement

Shane and the team were transparent from start to finish, providing professional recommendations based on experience and as much information up-front as they could. They kept a tidy job site throughout, very respectful of my property and even lent a hand with some DIY that I'd gotten stuck with. All their work was finished to a great standard and they've kept in contact to make sure no issues arose after completion. An easy recommendation for roof work or any other external work/renovations.

Felt replaced.

I needed my roof felt replaced, and Shane and his team were outstanding. They were quick, professional, and even finished the job ahead of schedule. Shane clearly explained all my options, making the process stress-free, and the price was very fair. I’m happy with the results and highly recommend them.

Straight answers

Refelt and batten questions

Is a refelt cheaper than a new roof?

Yes, because the tiles go back on. A Bagshot customer reported £1,300 to £1,700 on Checkatrade to refelt part of a roof and relay the tiles. A whole roof costs more; Shane prices yours after he has seen it.

Can you refelt before solar panels go on?

Yes. Shane did exactly that in Bagshot as an emergency job, one day in and out, so the panels went onto a sound roof.

What if some tiles break?

Shane sources matching or reclaimed tiles. In Hersham he salvaged reclaimed tiles because the originals are no longer made.
