Felt Flat Roofs In Thaxted
Torch-on felt is still a practical choice for flat-roofed garages and extensions on Thaxted's post-war and newer homes. Today's systems are built up in several layers with a mineral cap sheet, so they are far tougher than the thin felt that was often used on these roofs when they were first built.
Options for your roof
We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Felt flat roofs for Thaxted's newer homes
When older felt fails, it usually shows as cracking, blisters, bare patches and puddles that stay for days. We strip the roof back, replace any soft decking, then torch on a base layer followed by a mineral-surfaced cap sheet. Laps are sealed, edges are finished with trims, and upstands are carried up walls and covered by flashings. The mineral finish protects the felt from sunlight and gives a hard-wearing surface. On the outskirts of Thaxted this works well for garages and extensions where a traditional finish is wanted. Our 10-year guarantee comes with every new felt roof.

Torching is not ideal right beside old timber-framed buildings, which Thaxted's centre has plenty of. There we usually recommend EPDM or GRP instead, which are laid cold. We give you an honest comparison so you can decide. Where the building is listed, we check consent before any work starts.
