“Richmond Roofing Group transformed our old roof into a stunning new feature of our home. Professional, tidy and on time.”
Sarah J. · Richmond homeownerTorch-on felt roofing that sheds water properly
Felt roofing — typically torch-on built-up felt — remains a proven flat roofing choice for extensions, garages, dormers and low-pitch roofs across Richmond. Richmond Roofing Group installs multi-layer felt systems with attention to falls, outlets, upstands and wall abutments.
Cheap single-layer patches fail early. We specify systems intended to last, prepare decks properly, and detail edges so water leaves the roof instead of ponding against brickwork. Where felt is no longer the best answer, we will say so and discuss GRP or EPDM alternatives.
Felt roof repairs can restore life to a sound deck; full renewals are recommended when blistering, splits and widespread ponding show the covering is spent. Our quotes explain which path you are taking.
Why homeowners choose our felt roofing service in Richmond
Choosing the right covering is as important as choosing the right contractor. Richmond Roofing Group specifies felt roofing based on pitch, exposure, neighbouring materials and how you want the roof to look in ten years — not which leftover stock is on the van. We explain underlay, battens or decks, ventilation, flashings and edge details so you understand what you are buying.
For pitched coverings we pay close attention to valleys, abutments, ridge lines and eaves. For flat systems we focus on falls, outlets, upstands and junctions with walls or pitched roofs — the places flat roofs usually fail first. That detailing discipline is why local roofers Richmond clients recommend us for lasting work rather than a cheap patch that returns next winter.
Richmond Roofing Group is based at 35 Northfield Avenue, London W13 9QP, and regularly delivers felt roofing across Richmond upon Thames, Twickenham, Kew, Barnes, Mortlake, East Sheen, Ealing, Acton, Chiswick, Hammersmith and neighbouring West London streets.

On qualifying new roof installations we can arrange a 10-year Peacock Insurance backed guarantee so your paperwork matches the quality of the covering.
Materials, detailing and longevity for felt roofing
Quality felt roofing depends on compatible components. We select membranes, tiles, slates, adhesives, primers, trims and flashings that work as a system. Breathable underlays, treated timber where required, and manufacturer-aligned fixing patterns protect both weather performance and warranty eligibility. Where a Peacock Insurance backed guarantee can apply on a full new installation, we confirm criteria before you commit.
London weather is wet, windy and changeable. Coverings must handle driving rain on exposed Richmond ridges, freeze-thaw cycles on north slopes, and UV on flat roofs. We design felt roofing installations around those realities, including temporary weather protection during strip-and-re-roof programmes so your interiors stay dry.
Common problems we solve with felt roofing
- Leaks at valleys, chimneys, abutments and roof windows
- Wind uplift, slipped units, cracked tiles or failed seams
- Ponding water, blistering or degraded flat roof surfaces
- Poor previous detailing that never had correct falls or ventilation
- End-of-life coverings where repair is no longer economic
If you send clear WhatsApp photos of the affected area, we can often advise whether a targeted repair or a full felt roofing renewal is the smarter spend — saving you from unnecessary scaffolding on day one when a drone survey may be enough to plan.
