Professional Felt & Hip Support Systems
When it comes to weatherproofing a property, the roof ridges, hips, and eaves are the most vulnerable to the elements. Without adequate structural support, traditional roofing felt can sag over time, leading to water pooling, dampness, and eventual timber rot. At Build & Plumb, we provide high-performance felt and hip support components designed to reinforce these critical zones, keeping your roofing projects secure, compliant, and watertight.
Why Quality Eaves & Hip Support Matters
Over time, weathering and exposure can degrade external underlays, particularly where they meet the gutter line. Incorporating dedicated support trays and hip systems ensures that:
- Water is Guided Correctly: Support trays bridge the gap between rafters, continuously channelling rainwater directly into the guttering, preventing it from pooling behind the fascia board.
- Roofing Felt Longevity: By physically supporting the lower edge of your roof felt, these systems prevent the sagging and tearing often caused by high winds and water weight.
- Pest and Weather Exclusion: Properly supported hips and ridges create a reliable barrier against nesting birds, large insects, and wind-driven rain.

Whether you are installing a high-performance breathable roof felt on a new build or replacing traditional bitumen roofing felt on a renovation project, our selection offers reliable, long-term solutions. Built from durable, UV-stabilized materials, our hip support trays and accessories resist cracking and rotting, outlasting traditional timber alternatives.
