Project process
A flat roof replacement showing preparation, decking and finished torch-on felt work in Plymouth.
- Existing flat roof assessed
- Decking repaired or replaced where required
- Felt system installed with correct edges and details
- Finished roof checked for neatness and water run-off
Why this matters
Good roofing is not just the final photo. The membrane, battens, fixing details, leadwork, ridge and edges all affect how long the job lasts.

Membrane and battens
New underlay and battens form the hidden weather protection.
Finished result
The finished roof is checked and left tidy.
Why this type of job needs proper preparation
A roof can look finished from the ground, but the reliability of the work depends on what was done underneath. Sound timber, correct membrane, fixed battens, suitable slates or tiles, correct ridge and verge detailing, and clean water routes all matter. Cutting corners at preparation stage is what often causes repeat leaks later.
- Roof stripped or opened as needed to expose the real condition
- Damaged materials identified rather than hidden
- Breathable membrane and battens installed where required
- Slates, tiles, ridges, edges and roofline details finished properly
- Customer given a clear explanation of the work carried out
