Felt Flat Roofs In Bishop's Stortford
Plenty of garages, porches and older extensions in Bishop's Stortford still have felt roofs, and when they fail, homeowners often wonder whether felt is worth fitting again. Modern torch-on felt is a multi-layer system with a mineral cap sheet, and on a simple roof it is still a sensible, good-value choice.

Felt roofs around Bishop's Stortford
On post-war homes around the town, we often find garage and porch roofs covered in old felt that has cracked, blistered or lifted at the edges, sometimes with moss growing in the puddles. Underneath, the deck may be rotten. We strip the old felt and any soft boards, then lay a new deck if needed. The new system is built in layers: a base sheet, a torched-on underlay, and a mineral-surfaced cap sheet that shields everything from the sun. We dress upstands into the wall with a flashing, and fit drip trims so water clears the edge. Outlets are renewed so the roof drains into the gutter properly.

Torch-on felt is best on roofs with a reasonable fall that won't see regular foot traffic. For roofs used as terraces, GRP is a better fit. Felt work on older buildings in the historic centre's conservation area may need permission if its appearance changes. Like any new roof we fit, it comes with our 10-year guarantee.
