Felt Flat Roofs In Pitsea

Felt is still a sensible option for many Pitsea flat roofs, if it is the modern kind. Today's torch-on systems are several layers bonded together with heat and topped with a mineral cap sheet, which is a very different product from the thin felt that is cracking on so many local garages and porches.

Local Knowledge

Why old felt fails on Pitsea garages

A lot of the original felt in SS13 was laid as a single thin layer, and after years of sun and frost it shrinks, cracks and blisters. Water then gets into the boards below, and the roof starts to dip and hold puddles. We see this most on rows of garages and the flat-roofed porches on terraces and semis. Our approach is to strip the old felt, replace any soft decking, and lay a multi-layer torch-on system with a mineral cap sheet on top. The cap sheet shields the layers beneath from sunlight.

Choosing felt in Pitsea

Felt makes good sense on a straightforward garage or porch where nobody walks, and it can be the most practical match on a block where neighbouring garages are also felted. For roofs you need to step onto, we may suggest GRP instead. Edges here face plenty of marsh wind, so trims are fixed firmly. A new felt roof is covered by our 10-year guarantee on new roofs.
