Felt Flat Roofs In Waltham Abbey
Felt still makes sense on plenty of Waltham Abbey's flat roofs, particularly the post-war garages and blocks. What has changed is the method. A modern torch-on roof is built up from several layers heat-bonded together, with a mineral cap sheet on top, which is a long way from the single thin layer on many original garages.

Where old felt is giving up in Waltham Abbey
On garages, blocks and extensions around the post-war estates, original felt typically shows cracks across the surface, blisters and lifting edges. Once water gets through, the boards go soft and the roof sags. We strip it all back, swap any rotten boards for new decking, and lay the torch-on layers one at a time. The mineral cap sheet goes on last, protecting the felt below from sunlight and giving a hard-wearing finish. New edge trims and a drip into the gutter complete the roof, and we dress the felt up abutting walls beneath a flashing.

Felt is good value on simple roofs that are not walked on, and it can be the natural match in a garage block where the neighbouring roofs are felted. For roofs you need to reach regularly, GRP is usually better. Leaves from nearby trees should be cleared from outlets so water does not pond. Our 10-year guarantee applies to the new felt roof.
