FELT & BATTEN REPLACEMENT BELFAST
RD Roofing & Construction provides professional roof felt and batten replacement in Belfast for properties where the materials beneath the tiles or slates have become damaged, deteriorated or require renewal as part of a wider roofing project.
Roofing membrane and battens form important parts of a pitched roofing system. Where these underlying materials have deteriorated, simply replacing the visible tiles or slates may not address the complete problem.
We provide felt and batten replacement throughout Belfast as well as Greater Belfast, Bangor, Newtownards and North Down.
ROOF FELT & BATTEN REPLACEMENT IN BELFAST
Roofing felt or breathable membrane provides an additional layer of protection beneath the main roof covering, while battens provide the supporting framework onto which tiles or slates are fixed.
Over time, older materials can deteriorate or become damaged by water ingress and other roofing problems. RD Roofing & Construction can expose affected areas, assess the underlying components and replace roofing membrane and battens where required.
ROOF FELT REPLACEMENT BELFAST
Damaged or deteriorated roofing felt can compromise the secondary protection beneath tiles and slates. We can replace affected roofing membrane as part of localised work or a more extensive roof replacement.
ROOF BATTEN REPLACEMENT BELFAST
Roof battens can deteriorate where they have been exposed to moisture or where an older roofing system requires renewal. Damaged battens can be replaced before the roof covering is reinstated.
FELT & BATTENS FOR RE-ROOFING BELFAST
Complete re-roofing provides an opportunity to renew the underlying roofing system. Where required, new membrane and battens can be installed before the replacement tiles or slates are fitted.
UNDERLYING ROOF REPAIRS FOR BELFAST HOMES
Problems beneath a roof covering are not always visible from ground level. A roof may have damaged felt, deteriorated battens or underlying defects even when many of the external tiles or slates remain in place.
Our wider roofing experience allows the affected roof covering and the components beneath it to be addressed together where required.

Everything You Need To Know
ROOF FELT & BATTEN FAQs BELFAST
What do roof felt and battens do?
Roofing felt or membrane sits beneath the main tile or slate covering and provides an additional layer of weather protection. Battens run across the roof structure and provide the fixing points for the tiles or slates.
How do I know if the felt under my roof needs replacing?
Problems can become apparent through water ingress, visible deterioration or when tiles and slates are removed during roofing work. Because the membrane is largely concealed, an assessment of the affected roofing area may be required.
Can damaged roof felt cause a leak?
Damaged felt can contribute to water reaching the roof structure, particularly where there is also a defect in the main tile or slate covering. The source of a leak should be assessed rather than assuming the felt alone is responsible.
Can you replace roof felt without replacing the entire roof?
Localised felt repairs or replacement may be possible depending on the location and extent of the damage. Tiles or slates generally need to be removed from the affected area to access the materials beneath them.
Why would roof battens need replacing?
Battens may require replacement if they have deteriorated, become damaged or been affected by prolonged moisture. They are also commonly renewed as part of a complete re-roof where the existing roofing system is being replaced.
Do you install breathable roofing membrane?
Yes. Previous roofing projects completed by the business include the installation of new breathable roofing membrane as part of complete roof and roofline renewal work.
Can you replace felt and battens under both tiles and slates?
Yes. Our roofing experience covers both tile and slate roofing systems, and underlying membrane and battens can be addressed where required.
Where do you provide felt and batten replacement outside Belfast?
Alongside Belfast, we cover Greater Belfast and surrounding areas including Newtownabbey, Glengormley, Carrickfergus, Dundonald and Lisburn, extending into North Down and Ards, including Bangor, Holywood, Newtownards and Comber.
