Felt Flat Roofs In Tilbury
Felt is still the most common covering on Tilbury's flat-roofed garages and maisonette blocks, and modern torch-on felt is a long way from the single sheet that was nailed down when many of these roofs were first built. For homeowners who like a traditional finish, it remains a sensible, practical option.

Replacing worn felt roofs in Tilbury
The older felt we see around RM18 has usually dried out and cracked, with blisters where water has crept underneath and gravel washed into the gutters. A modern system is built up in layers: a base layer bonded to a sound deck, then a cap sheet with a mineral finish that protects the felt from sunlight and gives a hard-wearing top surface. Each layer is heat-sealed, with laps, edges and upstands worked carefully so there are no weak points. Rotten decking is replaced first, since new felt on soft boards will fail at the joints. A new felt roof from us comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Torch-on felt involves a flame, so we take extra care next to timber fascias, plastic gutters and neighbouring properties, which matters on tightly packed terraces and garage rows. We compare felt with EPDM and GRP honestly, so you can choose what suits the roof and your budget. Like-for-like flat roof replacement in Tilbury rarely needs planning permission.
