Felt Flat Roofs In Great Dunmow

Felt is a dependable option for many flat roofs in Great Dunmow, provided it is laid as a modern system. Torch-on felt goes down in several layers, fused together with heat, with a mineral cap sheet on top to protect it from the sun. It is a big step up from the single-layer felt on many older garages.

Local Knowledge

Felt roofs on Great Dunmow homes

Post-war homes with concrete tiles and timber fascias often have a flat-roofed garage or extension that is still on its first felt. By now it has usually crazed, cracked and blistered, with water creeping into the boards. We strip back to the deck, replace any soft boards, and lay the new torch-on layers, finishing with the mineral cap sheet. Edges get new trims and a drip into the gutter, and where the roof meets the house, we turn the felt up the wall under a flashing so rain cannot run behind it.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01279 294082 or book online.

Choosing a flat roof in Great Dunmow

Felt is good value on simple roofs that are not walked on, such as garages and small extensions. If you need access, GRP may be better. Garages on the edge of town take more wind, so trims are fixed firmly. Like-for-like replacement rarely needs permission outside the conservation area. A new felt roof comes with our 10-year guarantee.
