Felt Flat Roofs In Harpenden
Not every flat roof needs to be rubber or fibreglass. For many garages and extensions around Harpenden, especially on post-war and newer homes, a modern torch-on felt system is a sound, cost-effective choice. It is nothing like the thin felt of old: several layers are bonded with heat and finished with a hard-wearing mineral cap sheet.
Options for your roof
We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.
Felt garage roof
A durable mineral-surfaced torch-on felt roof protecting a domestic garage.
Torch-on felt laid on OSB
High-performance torch-on bitumen felt being heat-bonded over fresh OSB deck.
Felt extension roof
Multi-layer torch-on system protecting a residential rear extension with clean falls.
Where felt still suits Harpenden homes
We often replace felt on single garages, porches and rear extensions where the existing covering has blistered, cracked at the edges or let water in where it meets the house wall. Leaves from Harpenden's mature trees settle on these low roofs and keep them damp, which speeds up wear. The fix is to strip the old felt, repair or replace the deck, and torch on an underlay layer followed by the mineral cap sheet. Upstands and the joint to the wall are sealed with a proper flashing, and new edge trims carry water into the gutter.

Felt works well on simple garage and porch roofs that are rarely walked on. For a large extension seen from upstairs windows, or a roof you want to step onto, GRP or EPDM may suit better, and we will say so. Torching is done with care near timber and trees. As a new roof, it comes with our 10-year guarantee.
