Felt Flat Roofs In Halstead

Felt flat roofs still have a place in Halstead, especially on the garages and extensions of post-war homes. The difference now is the system: modern torch-on felt is laid in several layers fused together with heat and finished with a mineral cap sheet, rather than the single thin sheet many older roofs still have.

We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Local Knowledge

Replacing tired felt in Halstead

The flat roofs we look at around Halstead's post-war and newer estates usually show the same signs: crazing across the surface, splits at the edges, blisters and a soft spot where water has crept into the deck. We remove the old felt down to the boards, replace any that have rotted, and lay a new torch-on system in layers. The mineral cap sheet on top protects the felt beneath from sunlight and gives a hard-wearing surface. Edges get new trims, and where the roof meets the house we dress the felt up the wall and finish with a proper flashing.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01206 648098 or book online.

When felt is the right choice

Felt suits plain garage and extension roofs that nobody walks on, and it can be a sensible match on a property where other felt roofs are in good order. If you need regular access, GRP may serve you better. On older buildings, we check how the flat roof meets the main roof and leadwork. Once laid, your new felt roof is backed by our 10-year guarantee.
