New Tile Roof, Felt & Battens | Watford
Project Overview
We recently completed a new tile roof installation in Watford, replacing the existing roofing system with modern materials to improve durability, weather protection, and overall appearance. The original roof had reached the end of its service life, with ageing tiles and outdated underlay that no longer provided reliable protection. A full strip and renewal was required to ensure long-term performance.
Before
The existing roof coverings were worn and uneven, with old felt and battens that no longer met modern standards. There were visible signs of deterioration, and the roof required a complete overhaul to prevent future issues and restore confidence in its weather resistance.
After
The finished roof now benefits from brand-new tiles laid over modern breathable felt and treated timber battens. The result is a clean, uniform roofline with improved ventilation, enhanced protection against the elements, and a smart, refreshed appearance that complements the property.
Project Breakdown
1. Roof Strip & Inspection
All existing tiles, felt, and battens were carefully removed. The roof structure was inspected to ensure it was sound and ready for the new installation.
2. New Breathable Felt Installation
A high-quality breathable membrane was fitted across the roof, providing effective moisture control while allowing proper ventilation within the roof space.
3. New Battens Fitted
New treated timber battens were installed at correct spacing, creating a strong, level base for the new roof tiles and ensuring compliance with current roofing standards.
4. New Tile Installation
The roof was re-tiled using durable, high-quality tiles, installed with precise alignment to achieve a neat, professional finish across all elevations.
5. Ridge & Final Finishing
The ridge was completed to provide a secure, weather-tight finish. A full inspection was then carried out to ensure every detail met our quality standards.
End Result
This new tile roof installation in Watford has significantly improved the property’s protection and appearance. With modern felt, solid battens, and expertly installed tiles, the roof is now built to perform reliably for decades, offering excellent weather resistance and a clean, contemporary finish.
