Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is roof latting and felting?
Latting involves installing timber battens that support roof tiles, while felting adds a waterproof underlayer that keeps your home dry and insulated.
How do I know if my roof needs new felting?
If you notice damp patches in the attic, sagging felt, or leaks, it may be time to replace your roof felt and battens.
Can you replace felt without removing tiles?
In most cases, we’ll need to remove the tiles to ensure proper installation and waterproofing, but we’ll reinstall them carefully once the job is complete.
How long does roof latting and felting last?
With quality materials and professional installation, it can last 20–30 years or more, depending on weather exposure and maintenance.
Do you use breathable felt?
Yes, we use breathable, high-performance roofing felt that prevents moisture buildup while allowing ventilation.
