Felt Flat Roofs In Tiptree

Felt is still a sound flat roof choice when it is done the modern way, and Tiptree has plenty of roofs that need it. The thin single-layer felt on many post-war garages and porches was never built to cope for long. Today's torch-on systems use several layers fused together, with a hard-wearing mineral cap sheet on top.

Local Knowledge

Tired felt roofs around Tiptree

Original felt is a common sight in Tiptree, especially on garages, porches and bungalow extensions built from the 1950s onwards. Typical faults are blisters where moisture is trapped, splits along the joins and cracking where the felt has dried out in the sun. Once water reaches the deck, boards start to bow. Our replacement strips the old felt back to the timber and renews any damaged boards. We then torch on a base layer and a mineral-finished cap sheet, sealed to the wall with a proper flashing. It suits homeowners who want a traditional, practical finish without fuss.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01206 648098 or book online.

Felt, fields and fire safety

Torch-on felt uses a gas flame, so we take care near timber fascias, soffits and anything flammable, and use cold-applied details where a torch is not sensible. Out among fruit farms and open fields, Tiptree roofs take the wind, so edges are sealed and trims fixed firmly. New flat roofs come with our 10-year guarantee.
