Felt Flat Roofs In Brightlingsea
Felt has long been the go-to covering for flat-roofed garages and extensions around Brightlingsea. The old type was a thin single layer that cracked under sun and frost. Modern torch-on felt is different: several layers, heat-sealed together, finished with a mineral cap sheet.

Felt roofs we renew in Brightlingsea
On the post-war homes, bungalows and newer estates away from the waterfront, we regularly find felt with split laps, blisters and puddles that sit for days after rain. Sometimes the damp is already showing on the ceiling inside. We strip the roof, replace any soft decking, then torch on an underlay followed by the mineral-surfaced cap sheet. Upstands are dressed up the wall and sealed under new flashing, and outlets are set to drain freely. It is a dependable, budget-friendly way to renew a simple flat roof. The old felt and boards are taken away, and the site is swept before we leave.

The mineral cap sheet protects the layers beneath from sun and salt, and fully bonded laps keep estuary wind from lifting the edges. Rotten timber fascias are replaced at the same time rather than trapped under new felt. Our 10-year guarantee covers the new felt roof as well.
