Felt Flat Roofs In Heybridge

Felt flat roofs cover many garages and extensions on Heybridge's post-war and modern homes. The old single-layer type cracks and blisters, and damp air off the Blackwater estuary doesn't help. Modern torch-on felt is much better: several layers heat-bonded together, topped with a mineral cap sheet that shields it from sunlight and weather.

Local Knowledge

Felt roofs we replace in Heybridge

Common signs are cracks at the edges, blistered patches, moss growing in puddles and damp ceilings below. Around the newer estates, we also see garage roofs where previous patching has failed. We strip the old felt, replace soft or rotten boards, then torch on a base layer and a mineral cap sheet, lapping and sealing every joint. Edge trims are fixed firmly, upstands against walls are sealed and flashed, and the fall is checked so water runs to the gutter. If the timber fascia around the roof is tired, it can be replaced with UPVC at the same time. Because a replacement felt roof is a new roof, our 10-year guarantee applies to it.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01245 520306 or book online.

Making the right choice

Felt is a practical option for straightforward garage and extension roofs. For walk-on areas, GRP may suit better, and for roofs against timber cladding, cold-applied EPDM avoids using a flame. Near the Basin or the Navigation conservation areas, we check permissions first.
