Felt Flat Roofs In Southminster

Felt is still the familiar choice for flat roofs on Southminster's garages, porches and outbuildings. The difference is in the system. Old single-layer felt cracks, blisters and lifts in the wind that sweeps across the Dengie peninsula. Modern torch-on felt is laid in multiple layers, heat-bonded together, and finished with a mineral cap sheet that protects it from the elements.

Local Knowledge

Felt roofs we renew around Southminster

Most jobs are on post-war homes and bungalows around the old centre, where a garage or porch roof has split, started to pond or been patched once too often. Outbuildings are another regular call, often with felt that has torn loose in a storm. We strip the old felt, replace any soft boards and check the joists. A base layer is torched down, followed by the mineral-surfaced cap sheet, with each layer lapped and sealed. Edges get fixed drip trims, and upstands against walls are sealed and flashed. The finished roof is firm, with a fall that drains properly. Being a new roof, it comes with our 10-year guarantee.

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

What to weigh up in Southminster

In exposed spots, the edges of a flat roof matter most, so we fix trims securely and seal laps well. Torch-on work needs care near timber, so on wooden outbuildings we sometimes suggest EPDM or GRP instead. If your property is in the conservation area, we check first.

Everything you need to know about our felt flat roofs service across Southminster and Essex.

Yes. We strip the old felt, check and replace the deck where needed, then lay a modern torch-on system with a mineral cap sheet. We'll also say whether EPDM or GRP would suit it better.
