About Wimbledon Village

Wimbledon Village is a designated conservation area with many Grade II-listed and locally-listed properties. Roofing work here is rarely a straight replacement — it requires sympathetic restoration using traditional materials and methods to satisfy conservation officers and preserve property values.

We regularly work on:

• Natural Welsh and Spanish slate roofs
• Hand-crafted clay tile re-roofs
• Code 4-6 leadwork to BS standards
• Lime mortar repointing
• Heritage chimney stack restoration

If your property is in the Village, we'll guide you through planning and conservation requirements before any work begins.

What we offer in Wimbledon Village

Modern torch-on felt systems are a different animal to old-school felt roofs. Three-layer systems with 15-25 year lifespans, ideal for garage roofs, dormers and budget-conscious installations.

Types of felt roofing

High-performance torch-on felt (3-layer)

The current standard. Three layers of modified bitumen felt, torch-applied to create a fully-bonded waterproof membrane.

• Lifespan: 15-25 years
• Cost: £45-£70 per m² installed
• Pros: Cheapest long-lasting option, quick install, well-understood by UK trades

Self-adhesive felt

Modern peel-and-stick systems. No torch required — safer for confined spaces and some applications.

• Lifespan: 15-20 years
• Best for: Smaller roofs, areas where torch work is impractical

Traditional pour-and-roll (rare today)

Older method using hot bitumen. Less common in modern installations but we still maintain and repair these systems.

When felt is the right choice

• Budget is the primary concern — felt is the cheapest modern flat roof system
• Garage or outbuilding — appropriate for low-priority structures
• Patch repair — existing felt roof with localised damage
• Speed of install matters — felt goes down fast

When felt isn't ideal

• You want 30+ year lifespan (use EPDM)
• Walkable surface needed (use GRP)
• Multiple previous failures (consider upgrading the system)
• Conservation area (slate or heritage-appropriate materials preferred)

Common felt problems

• Blistering — trapped moisture vapour, usually poor ventilation
• Splitting at seams — failed laps or shrinkage
• Ponding — inadequate falls allowing water to sit
• Edge failure — trims or fillets failing
• Age failure — bitumen becomes brittle after 15+ years

Cost guide

• Garage roof (15-20m²): £1,200-£1,800
• House extension (20-40m²): £1,600-£3,000
• Large flat roof (50m²+): £3,500-£5,500

Warranties

• Material warranty: 10-15 years (manufacturer)
