Felt and torch-on roofing explained
A felt roof repair starts by separating surface damage from faults at the deck and perimeter. Adam checks the covering, upstands and outlets before explaining the proposed work. A torch-on cap sheet is the outer layer of a specified felt build-up, not a description of everything underneath it.
Your quote will identify the supporting deck and any additional roof layers involved. Adam shows your split or lifted junction on the inspection photographs and explains the area that will be opened. The repair description needs to connect the new felt to sound retained material and include the affected roof edge or upstand.
For your felt roof, Adam identifies the layers to be removed and explains what the new build-up contains. The deck, any insulation, felt layers and torch-on cap sheet need to be considered with upstands and drainage outlets. Adam's written explanation gives you a way to check that scope against the inspected roof.
The installation method must be stated for the selected system and the roof junctions involved. He explains which layers run into your upstands and how the outlet detail will be formed. Keeping the quote specific means you can compare the work offered with the deck, felt layers and perimeter all included in the description.
If your felt roof has been patched repeatedly, Adam investigates why water still gets through before proposing another surface layer. He checks the leaking area alongside your earlier repair records. The inspection can then address the felt, roof edges and supporting deck as separate components in the written proposal.
Your decision is between the repair scope and replacement scope actually described for that roof. Adam identifies what each option retains, which felt layers will be renewed and the decking work needed beneath them. Adam's photographs and written explanation give those choices a defined location, with upstands, outlets and the torch-on cap sheet included in the specification where proposed.

Customer reviews
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.
The communications with Adam were excellent. The work was arranged quickly and carried out by Ben to a high standard. Would heartily recommend this company.
Adam was great to communicate with, turned up when he said he would to quote. A storm delayed the start of work, but we were kept informed. Roof cleaned, gutters facia and soffits replaced, solar panels pigeon proofed.
Your roofing questions answered
What is torch-on felt roofing?
It is a felt roofing method using a specified heat-applied system. The cap sheet is part of the roof build-up, which also needs deck and junction details.
Can a leaking felt roof be repaired?
An inspection establishes the condition of the covering, deck and junctions before a repair scope is proposed. Adam photographs the split or lifted detail and explains the felt layers and adjoining roof components needed to complete your repair.
How many layers of felt will my roof need?
The selected system determines the specification. Adam names the felt layers and torch-on cap sheet in your quote, then explains how they meet the upstands and outlets, with any deck or insulation work identified separately.
Can you put new felt over old felt?
Book Adam to inspect the existing roof and specify which layers are retained or removed. An overlay is not assumed.
What is the cost of a felt roof?
Your written estimate is based on the inspected roof and agreed build-up. Adam identifies the deck work, felt layers, torch-on cap sheet and perimeter details, with photographs showing the condition and access behind the proposed price.
What guarantee comes with the work?
A 10-year workmanship guarantee on all work. Stormshield is fully insured, and you receive daily progress updates with photos and videos.
