Felt defects worth photographing
Find the failed felt detail in Adam's photographs, including splits at overlaps and lifting roof edges.
Cracks across the surface
A network of cracks needs a wider assessment than one isolated cut. Adam checks the covering condition alongside the support beneath it.
Layers lifting at overlaps
Raised laps interrupt the bonded surface and create an entry point. The repair has to suit the existing felt and its condition.
Blistered areas after weather changes
Raised bubbles deserve inspection without walking on them. Trapped moisture or separation between layers needs understanding before another covering is specified.
A curled edge over the gutter
A failing drip detail lets runoff go behind the gutter. The deck edge, fascia and covering termination need examining as one junction.
A felt roof depends on its layers
See which felt details have failed and what needs renewing beneath them. Adam's photographs support a written specification for the deck preparation, layers, wall upstands and roof edges.
Our roofers prepare the deck and install the agreed felt system, with the bonding method selected for each detail. The cap sheet finishes the exposed surface, while upstands and flashings protect wall junctions and drip edges direct runoff into the gutter. Adam keeps you informed with daily images of the work, including stages hidden by the final covering. The quotation is free, and the completed installation is covered by the 10-year workmanship guarantee.
- Existing felt condition recorded
- Deck preparation included in scope
- Layered system specified
- Wall terminations checked
- Gutter drip detail renewed as required
Felt above garages and rear additions
Buckingham homes have small porch roofs, attached garages and rear additions with very different access arrangements. A covering above a lived-in extension also has insulation and internal moisture considerations that a simple outbuilding does not share. Adam looks at the building use and the roof details together. Across the surrounding towns, including Aylesbury and Leighton Buzzard, the inspection remains the basis for selecting a felt specification instead of pricing every flat surface as the same job.
A customer’s account of the work
Hired Adam from Storm Shield roofing to replace my roof. Adam himself and his team did an excellent job the roof looks great! All my questions were answered they left no mess when they left I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
When estimating they were the only ones to actually inspect the roof! Provided photos and full explanation of the rework required to resolve the issue. Carried out the repair as planned, when planned with minimal disruption and no damage. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business.
Job was completed quickly and efficiently. Adam was polite, friendly and professional. Communication was very good - I was kept informed of roofing choices, delivery dates and when the job would be started.
Specify what comes off and what goes back
The cost follows the roof area, preparation and number of details, not just the visible roll of felt. Wet boards, raised wall junctions and rooflights change the work. Adam's written scope identifies the selected system and the supporting repairs, with photographs so you can compare the proposed installation against the existing roof condition.

Torch-on felt roofing questions
How long does torch-on felt last?
A felt roof's performance depends on the system, its support and installation details, with maintenance of outlets also playing a part. A lifespan number does not describe the condition of your roof. Adam checks the covering and underlying deck before recommending work, and all Stormshield workmanship has a 10-year guarantee.
Is torch-on felt safe to fit on a house?
Torch-on installation needs an appropriate method and safe working arrangements for the roof details involved. Combustible surroundings and inaccessible voids require particular attention when choosing the specification. Adam assesses the roof before quoting and explains the planned system; homeowners should not attempt to apply torch-on materials themselves.
Can you felt over an old felt roof?
Overlaying needs the existing roof to be assessed first, including the deck and any trapped moisture. Adding a surface over unsound support leaves the original problem in place. Your quote from Adam describes the preparation, so you can see whether the proposal includes stripping, deck repair and a new felt build-up.
Why is my felt roof leaking?
The covering, overlaps, outlets or wall junctions can each be the entry point, so a ceiling stain alone does not establish the repair. Adam examines the roof and photographs the defective detail. His proposal connects the recommended work to that finding rather than coating a broad area without tracing the cause.
What is a mineral cap sheet?
A mineral cap sheet is a felt system's exposed top layer, with mineral granules forming its outer finish. It works with the layers and support beneath it rather than as a complete roof on its own. Adam specifies the proposed build-up and perimeter details together when pricing a replacement felt covering.
