Most homeowners won’t even be aware of roofing felt until they get a roof leak – this can be a sign that the felt part of the roof has been damaged or decayed in certain areas. If it is properly laid, roofing felt can last for twenty years. However, because it is a bituminous-based product, it can suffer under long term exposure to sunlight. 'Ponding' of rainwater on the surface can also encourage the felt to disintegrate, especially at the edge of any pond. And problems can also start if felt layers are not properly laid and bonded because your roof joints can negate the fall of the roof and encourage ponding. And once water gets into defective joints then the joining between the layers can deteriorate. But the real problems are caused if, in the decking below the felt, boards have warped or moved or condensation has built up between the gaps causing leaks or rotting.

Cost of replacing roof felt under tiles
Roofing felt is designed to repel water and withstand icy winds and, while the lifespan of roofing felt is long, its deterioration over time is a natural outcome. Therefore, replacing roof felt under tiles as past of our felt roof repair service is a common job for The Harrow Roofers.
Although of course it depends on the size of your roof and whether some or all of the felt roof needs replacing, but the average cost of replacing roof felt under tiles starts from around £200 for a small patch repair on a domestic property. But if the felt underlay is very old and brittle, and you need the whole thing replacing, with the associated costs for scaffolding, new roof tiles, flashing etc the cost of replacing roof felt under tiles can range from around £2000 through to £7,300,
Felt roofing methods
Felt roofing is a tried and tested method of creating durable built-up roofing systems for flat and low slope roofs
using bituminous felts. Felt roofs are used broadly across residential and commercial buildings because they are not only economical and easy to install, but also to replace and repair.
Felt roofing can be applied through 'nail fixing' and cold adhesive. But 'torch-on' and 'pour and roll' methods can also be used. Torch-on is more common in modern roofing because it's faster and easier to complete so the cost of replacing roof felt under tiles is lower. The felt is used off a roll with a bitumen adhesive already applied to the roofing felt during manufacture. The modified bitumen is released with an open flame gas torch and the felt can be rolled directly onto the roof surface.
