Replacement Flat Roof in Tarvin
At Roofline Solutions, we recently completed a replacement flat roof in Tarvin, transforming an old, failing roof into a fully renewed, weatherproof system designed to last for years to come. Our skilled roofing team carried out the project from start to finish, ensuring every detail was handled with precision and care.
Removing the Old Roof
The job began with the full removal of the old, damaged flat roof covering. Over time, the existing roof had become worn, with leaks and water ingress causing further damage to the supporting structure. Our team stripped away the old felt, decking, and any compromised materials, creating a safe and clean base for the new installation.
Replacing Timber Joists and Fascia Boards
Once the old covering was removed, it was clear that some of the timber joists had deteriorated. We replaced these with strong, treated timber to provide a stable foundation for the new roof. In addition, we installed brand new fascia boards, not only to enhance the appearance of the roofline but also to ensure long-term structural support and water protection.
Installing New Ply Decking
To create a strong and level surface, we fixed new plywood decking across the joists. This decking is designed to withstand both the weight of the new roofing materials and years of exposure to the elements. By using quality, moisture-resistant ply, we ensured the roof structure would remain solid and secure.
Felt Roof with Flashings
The next stage was to install a high-performance, multi-layer torch-on felt roofing system. This provides excellent waterproofing and durability, making it ideal for flat roofs in the UK climate. To complete the installation, we added new lead and metal flashings, protecting vulnerable joints and ensuring the roof is fully sealed against water ingress.
The Finished Flat Roof in Tarvin
The result is a modern, durable, and weather-resistant flat roof replacement that will serve the property for many years. With all structural elements renewed — from joists to decking, fascia boards to felt coverings — the client can rest assured their home is fully protected from the elements.
