Felt Flat Roofs In West Mersea

Felt has covered West Mersea's dormers and extensions for years, and plenty of old felt roofs on the island are now cracked, blistered or lifting at the edges. Modern torch-on felt is a big step up: several layers fused together and topped with a mineral cap sheet that stands up to sun and weather.

Local Knowledge

Replacing old felt across West Mersea

The most worn felt we find is on the dormers of chalet bungalows and on garages beside post-war homes. Sea air and sun dry old felt out so it cracks, and wind catches any loose edge. Once water gets through, the boards underneath rot. Our process is to strip the old felt completely and replace damaged decking, then torch on a base layer followed by a mineral-surfaced cap sheet. Upstands are dressed against walls under flashings, and edges finished with drip details into the gutter. For homeowners who like a traditional flat roof, it is a practical and well-proven choice.

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

Felt work by the coast

Edges on Mersea need sealing well against wind, and any metal trims or fixings should resist salt. Torch-on work involves a naked flame, so we take care near timber dormer cheeks and fascias, using cold-applied details where safer. New flat roofs come with our 10-year guarantee and a free written quote.
