Felt Flat Roofs In Loughton
Felt is still the most common flat roof covering on the post-war homes of Loughton, especially in Debden. A modern torch-on system is far more robust than the old felt laid back then, and many owners prefer to stay with felt when the time comes to re-roof.
Options for your roof
We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Re-felting flat roofs in Loughton
The older felt roofs we strip in Debden are usually a single thin layer, cracked, blistered and patched with mastic more than once. Underneath, the deck is often damp at the edges. We take it back to the joists if needed, lay a new deck and build up a modern multi-layer torch-on system: a base layer, a further layer torched down on top, then a mineral cap sheet. The mineral surface shields the felt from sunlight. On 1930s homes around Goldings Hill and central Loughton, we re-felt porch roofs and bay tops in the same way.

Leaf litter sitting on a flat roof holds moisture and speeds up wear, so we make sure water drains properly to the gutter. Torching means care around timber fascias and overhanging branches, and we check for lingering heat before leaving. A fully re-felted roof counts as new and gets our 10-year guarantee, while repairs are quoted free in writing.
