As a homeowner in Havering, ensuring your roof is in good condition is crucial to protect your property from the elements. At F & M Roofers, we understand the importance of a well-maintained roof and are here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to felt and batten a roof.

Before we dive into the process, it's essential to understand the different components involved in felting and battening a roof. The roof is the uppermost part of a building, and it's designed to provide protection from the elements. A flat roof, in particular, requires a layer of felt to prevent water from seeping into the building.

Proper support is crucial when it comes to felting and battening a roof. The roofing structure must be sturdy enough to support the weight of the felt, battens, and tiles. At F & M Roofers, we take into account the condition of the roof and provide the necessary support to ensure a safe and secure installation.

The felting and battening process involves several steps:

1. Preparation: Before starting the felting and battening process, it's essential to prepare the roof surface. This involves clearing the roof of any debris and ensuring the surface is clean and dry.
2. Laying the Felt: The felt is laid on the roof surface, ensuring it's smooth and even. The felt is typically laid in overlapping layers to prevent water from seeping into the building.
3. Battening: The battens are then laid on top of the felt, spaced evenly apart. The battens provide additional support to the roof and help to secure the tiles in place.
4. Tile Installation: The tiles are then installed on top of the battens, ensuring they're securely fastened to the roof.
