Felt Flat Roofs In Wickford

Felt flat roofs are among the most common jobs we do in Wickford. So many garages, porches and extensions went up alongside the town's post-war homes, and their original felt has cracked and blistered. Modern torch-on felt is a far tougher system, laid in multiple layers and finished with a mineral cap sheet.

We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Local Knowledge

New felt on Wickford's flat roofs

We see failing felt on porches in Nevendon, garages in Runwell and extensions all over SS11 and SS12. Signs include splits along the laps, bubbles under the surface and water staining on the ceiling below. We strip the old felt off fully and inspect the deck, replacing anything soft. A base layer is torched on, followed by a cap sheet with a mineral surface that resists sunlight and wear. Upstands are dressed up walls and under tiles, and new trims finish the edges. Felt remains a practical choice for straightforward roofs.
