Areas we cover
Felt Roofing across Walkden and nearby
Walkden grew up as a coal mining town, and its oldest housing is the rows of brick terraces built in the years when the pits were working. Roofs of that age are typically slate, with brick chimney stacks and lead flashing that have been in place for a very long time.
We are based at 91a Walkden Road in Walkden, so Worsley, Little Hulton, Boothstown, Swinton and Farnworth are all a short drive.

FAQ
Felt Roofing: common questions
How long does a felt roof last?
Modern torch-on felt typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more. Older felt roofs often manage less.
Can new felt go over the old?
Sometimes, if the old felt is dry and flat and the deck is sound. If water has got in, stripping it is the lasting fix.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the roof, the access and what we find. We inspect for free and give you a fixed written price before any work starts.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. Inspections and written quotes are free, with no obligation.
