Felt Roof Replacement in Whitley Bay
Most failed felt roofs we see in Whitley Bay 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, out around Whitley Road retail, through Monkseaton and Earsdon.
- 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
Whitley Bay context
Generous interwar semis through Monkseaton and Earsdon, plus a band of coastal Edwardian villas facing the seafront. Direct exposure to the North Sea means rapid lead and zinc oxidation — flashings rarely survive past 20 years here without inspection.
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.
