Felt Flat Roofs In Chelmsford
Felt still has a place on Chelmsford roofs, just not the thin felt that many garages from the 1960s and 1970s were finished with. Modern torch-on systems use several layers bonded with heat and a mineral cap sheet on top, giving a tougher, more weather-resistant flat roof than the original.
Options for your roof
We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Old felt we replace around the city
In Tile Kiln, Patching Hall and Chelmer Village the original felt on garages and porches has usually blistered, split along the joints or sunk where the boards beneath have softened. Water then finds its way into the garage or down an inside wall. We strip the old layers, check and replace the deck, lay a base layer and torch on the cap sheet, finishing with new edge trims and a properly dressed upstand. It is a sensible choice for a straightforward garage roof where you want a proven, familiar finish.

Torch-on felt needs care around timber and roof lights, so we use the right detailing at every edge. If your garage adjoins a neighbour's, we can look at both roofs together so the join is sealed properly. We will also tell you honestly if EPDM or GRP would suit the roof better. A new felt roof comes with our 10-year guarantee on new roofs.
