Felt Flat Roofs In South Ockendon

Felt has covered South Ockendon's flat-roofed garages, porches and maisonette blocks since they were built, and it is still a solid option today. The difference is that modern torch-on felt is laid in several bonded layers with a mineral cap sheet, rather than the thin single sheets that crack and blister.

Local Knowledge

Torch-on felt for South Ockendon flat roofs

When we look at older felt roofs in RM15, the usual story is cracked, brittle felt, lifting edges and water pooling where the deck has sagged. Replacing it properly starts with stripping everything back and renewing the deck where needed. We torch on a base layer, then a cap sheet with a mineral surface that protects against sunlight and wear. Edges, laps and upstands against walls get particular attention, since that is where old felt roofs usually leak first. The new roof drains to the gutter with a clean drip edge, and you get our 10-year guarantee on it.

Is felt right for your roof?

Felt is a sensible choice for many garages and extensions, and we always lay out EPDM and GRP alongside it so you can compare. Torching takes care next to timber fascias and neighbouring roofs, so we use fire-safe working methods. Planning permission is rarely needed for like-for-like flat roof work in South Ockendon.
