Felt Flat Roofs In Manningtree
Felt has a poor reputation thanks to older single-layer roofs, but modern torch-on felt is a different product. Several layers are heat-bonded together and finished with a mineral cap sheet. For a garage or extension in Manningtree or Lawford, it's a sensible, proven option that many homeowners still prefer.

Felt roofs we replace near the Stour
Across Lawford and Mistley, many flat-roofed extensions from after the war still have old felt, often patched several times. We see cracks along the joins, splits around outlets, and edges that have pulled away from the timber fascia. Inside, there may be damp patches or a musty smell. A torch-on replacement starts with a sound deck. We then lay a base layer, followed by the cap sheet with its mineral surface, each torched to the layer below. Upstands go up the wall and are finished with a flashing, and edges get proper drip trims so water drops cleanly into the gutter.
Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01206 648098 or book online.

Damp air off the estuary means poorly ventilated flat roofs can trap moisture. We check the deck and ventilation before relaying, so the new felt stays sound. We also make sure the new roof drains towards a working outlet rather than leaving puddles to sit. Like-for-like flat roof work rarely needs permission. New felt flat roofs come with our 10-year guarantee.
