Felt Flat Roofs In South Woodham Ferrers

Tired felt flat roofs are one of the most common jobs in South Woodham Ferrers. Much of the town was built from the 1970s onwards, with flat-roofed garages, porches and extensions, and much of that original felt is now cracking and letting water in. Modern torch-on felt is a big step up, with multiple heat-bonded layers and a mineral cap sheet.

Local Knowledge

Garage and porch roofs we re-felt

The signs are familiar: cracking along the edges, blisters in the surface, puddles after rain and damp patches on ceilings. On linked garages, water can also get in at the joint with the neighbouring roof. We strip the old felt to the deck and replace any boards that are soft or warped. Then we torch on a base layer and a mineral-surfaced cap sheet, lapping and sealing each joint, fitting new drip trims at the edges and sealing upstands against the house wall. If the timber fascia around the flat roof is rotten, we can replace it at the same time. The new felt roof is backed by our 10-year guarantee.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01245 520306 or book online.

Choosing the right system

Felt is a sensible, familiar option, but it isn't the only one. For larger extensions or roofs you need to walk on, EPDM or GRP may suit better. We'll explain the differences honestly. Like-for-like flat roof replacement usually doesn't need planning permission here, but we always check.
