Felt and battening a roof is a critical step in ensuring its waterproofing and structural integrity. The process involves applying a layer of roofing felt to the roof deck, followed by the installation of battens, which provide a secure base for the final roofing material, such as slates, tiles, or fibreglass. This process helps to:

• Prevent water ingress and damage to the roof and underlying structure
• Provide a smooth surface for the final roofing material
• Enhance the overall appearance of the roof

The felt and batten process typically involves the following steps:

1. Preparation: Ensure the roof deck is clean, dry, and free from debris.
2. Felt Application: Apply a layer of roofing felt to the roof deck, overlapping the sheets to ensure a watertight seal.
3. Batten Installation: Install battens, spaced at regular intervals, to provide a secure base for the final roofing material.
4. Final Roofing Material Installation: Install the final roofing material, such as slates, tiles, or fibreglass, ensuring a secure and watertight seal.
