Felt Flat Roofs In Chipping Ongar
Felt flat roofs are still common on Chipping Ongar's post-war homes and bungalows, and on the garages and extensions beside them. Old single-layer felt cracks and blisters, but modern torch-on felt, built up in layers with a mineral cap sheet, is a dependable traditional option.
Options for your roof
We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Replacing felt roofs in Chipping Ongar
Around the centre and in Marden Ash, many garages and rear extensions still wear their original felt. Common faults are cracks, blisters and splits at the joins, often with a soft deck underneath, and sometimes water has pooled for a long time because the roof is too flat. We strip the old felt and damaged boards, lay a new deck where needed, then torch on a base layer and a mineral-surfaced cap sheet. Flashings are renewed at walls, and edges are finished with drips into the gutter. On older brick and timber-framed buildings, we switch to cold-applied details wherever a torch would be unsafe near old timber.

Chipping Ongar's older buildings often have timber close to roof edges, so fire safety matters with torch-on felt, and we use alternatives where needed. If your home is in a named conservation area or listed, we check what applies. New flat roofs come with our 10-year guarantee.
