Felt Flat Roofs In Harlow
Felt was the standard flat roof covering when Harlow's neighbourhoods were built, and it is still a sensible option today. Modern torch-on felt is far tougher than the single layer found on many original garages. For homeowners who want a familiar, practical system on a garage or extension, it does the job well.

Felt roofs we replace around Harlow
Across Bush Fair, Little Parndon and Harlow Common, we see original felt roofs on garages and back additions that have shrunk, cracked along the joints and grown moss in the dips where water sits. Old asphalt on some blocks blisters in the same way. Our felt roofs are built in layers: a base layer, then a torch-on underlay, then a mineral cap sheet that protects the felt from sunlight and wear. Before any of that, we check the deck and replace soft boards, adding firrings to give the roof a proper fall. The new roof is backed by our 10-year guarantee.
Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01279 294082 or book online.

Torch-on felt uses a flame, so we take care around timber fascias, which on many Harlow homes are still the original ones. Where fascias are rotten, it is worth replacing them at the same time. On shared garage blocks, we seal your roof to the next section neatly so water cannot find its way between them.
