Felt Flat Roofs In Basildon

Felt was the standard finish for flat roofs across Basildon's new-town housing, and much of it is still in place on garages, porches and blocks. Old felt cracks, blisters and holds puddles as it ages. A modern torch-on system replaces it with several heat-bonded layers under a mineral cap sheet.

Local Knowledge

Torch-on felt for Basildon homes

A typical job is a garage or porch on a 1960s or 1970s home in Fryerns or Barstable, where the felt has split and the timber underneath has started to rot. We remove everything down to the joists if needed, lay a new deck, then build up the base layers and torch on the cap sheet. New edge trims and sealed upstands at the wall complete the roof. It is a dependable choice for homeowners who prefer a conventional finish, and small areas are simple to repair in future if they are ever damaged.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01277 564074 or book online.

Felt Flat Roofs in Basildon — Your Questions

Everything you need to know about our felt flat roofs service across Basildon and Essex.

Not until the deck is replaced. Rotten boards are the main reason flat roofs fail early, so we always renew them first. Call us on 01277 564074 and we will check yours and send a free written quote.
