Felt Flat Roofs In Saffron Walden
Many flat-roofed garages and extensions around Saffron Walden were first covered in thin felt, which cracks and blisters as it ages. Modern torch-on felt is a much stronger option, laid in layers and finished with a mineral cap sheet that shields it from sunlight. For simple flat roofs, it remains a sensible and practical choice.
Options for your roof
We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.
Felt garage roof
A durable mineral-surfaced torch-on felt roof protecting a domestic garage.
Torch-on felt laid on OSB

Re-felting flat roofs around the town
We re-felt garage roofs, rear extensions and porches on the post-war and newer homes around Saffron Walden. Signs that felt has failed include cracking along the laps, blisters, standing water and stains on the ceiling below. We remove the old felt, check the deck and replace any rotten boards. A base layer is torched on, then a cap sheet with a mineral surface. Upstands are dressed up walls and tucked into flashing, and new trims are fitted at the edges. Where a flat roof adjoins a historic wall, we take extra care with the junction.

Torching near old timber frames needs great caution, so on or beside historic buildings we may use cold-applied or self-adhesive felt layers instead of a flame. Listed buildings need consent for most roof work. A new flat roof from us comes with our 10-year guarantee, and every quote is free and written.
