Felt Flat Roofs In St Ives

Felt is still a sensible, practical choice for many flat roofs in St Ives, especially garages and porches on the post-war estates. The difference today is the material: modern torch-on felt is far tougher than the thin sheets laid years ago that we so often find split and patched.

Local Knowledge

Felt roofs we replace around PE27

A typical job is a detached or link garage on an estate outside the old centre, its felt crazed and blistered, with a few bitumen patches from earlier fixes. Behind some Victorian houses we also find small kitchen extensions with sagging felt. We strip the old roof, check and replace any soft decking, then lay a multi-layer torch-on system: a base layer bonded to the deck and a mineral cap sheet on top. The mineral finish shields the felt from sunlight and makes it hard-wearing. New drip edges and trims complete the job.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01223 398097 or book online.

Getting felt right in a damp riverside town

Ponding is the enemy of any felt roof, and in the damper air along the Great Ouse standing water soon turns green. We make sure the deck falls properly to the gutter. Torch-on work involves a flame, so we take care around timber fascias and neighbouring roofs. New felt flat roofs come with our 10-year guarantee.
