Felt Flat Roofs In Southend-on-Sea

Old felt flat roofs are one of the most common things we replace on Southend's 1930s and post-war bungalows and homes. Modern torch-on felt is a far better system: several layers fused with heat and finished with a mineral cap sheet that protects the surface from sun and weather.

Options for your roof

We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Local Knowledge

Felt roofs around Eastwood, Belfairs and Southchurch

A failing felt roof here usually shows the same signs: a cracked and crazed surface, blisters, lifting edges and puddles that sit for days. Inside, you may see stains on the garage or porch ceiling. We strip the old felt, renew the deck where it has softened, then lay the base layers and torch on the mineral cap sheet. New edge trims and sealed upstands finish the job. Felt remains a practical, familiar choice for a straightforward flat roof, and it is easy to maintain.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01702 861098 or book online.

Felt by the sea

Wind from the estuary can catch any loose edge, so the trims and upstands are where we spend most care, particularly near the seafront in Thorpe Bay and Shoeburyness. We will also compare felt with EPDM and GRP on your quote, so you can choose. A new torch-on roof qualifies for our 10-year guarantee on new roofs.
