Felt Roof Replacement in North Shields

Most failed felt roofs we see in North Shields are 15–25 years old, blistered along the south slope, and pulling at the upstand. Re-felting buys you another 10 years; upgrading to GRP, EPDM or a liquid system buys 25+. We quote both honestly so you can choose. We're regularly on roofs close to the A19 (Tyne Tunnel approach), out around Royal Quays, through Preston and Chirton.

  • Strip and dispose of old felt
  • Deck checked, rotten ply replaced
  • Choose GRP, EPDM, liquid or quality re-felt
  • Upstands, drips and outlets re-detailed properly
  • Manufacturer-backed guarantee

North Shields context

Riverside terraces near the Fish Quay, 1930s semis through Preston, and modern townhouses around Royal Quays. Damp river fog combined with prevailing south-westerlies keeps north-facing slopes consistently moss-covered.

Why we usually steer customers away from straight re-felting

Mineral felt at 15-year life costs roughly half what GRP at 25+ years does — but you're paying twice within 25 years and dealing with two strip-and-skip jobs. GRP wins on lifetime cost for almost every owner-occupier.
