Felt Flat Roofs In Colchester
Torch-on felt is very different from the thin felt that covers many older Colchester garages. A modern system is built up in more than one layer, each bonded with heat, and finished with a mineral cap sheet that protects the roof from sunlight and weather.
Options for your roof
We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Replacing worn felt in Colchester
Around Greenstead, Berechurch and Monkwick we regularly find garage roofs from the 1950s to the 1970s that have crazed, blistered and split, with water ponding in the dips. Often the boards underneath have gone soft. We remove the old felt, lay a new deck where needed and build up the torch-on layers, finishing with the cap sheet, new drip trims and properly sealed upstands. It suits homeowners who want a traditional finish that is easy to repair later on.

For a simple garage or porch roof, torch-on felt does the job well. For roofs you will walk on, GRP may be better, and for a plain rectangle, EPDM is worth comparing. We give you an honest comparison on the quote. Whichever you choose, a new flat roof is a new roof, so the 10-year guarantee applies.
