Felt Flat Roofs In Hemel Hempstead

Felt has been on Hemel Hempstead's flat roofs since the new town was built, and torch-on felt is still a sound choice today. The difference is in the system: modern felt goes down in multiple layers fused with heat, nothing like the thin single sheets many 1950s and 1960s garages started with.

Local Knowledge

Replacing felt across Hemel's estates

Porches, garages and dormers in Highfield, Grovehill and Chaulden are where we replace the most felt. Common faults include cracking from sun and frost, blisters where moisture is trapped, and open laps where layers have parted. Once the old felt and any rotten boards are off, we lay a new deck if needed, then build up the system: a base layer, a torched underlay, and a mineral-surfaced cap sheet that protects against ultraviolet light and gives a tidy finish. Edges get proper drip trims so rain drops cleanly into the gutter instead of soaking the fascia.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01727 649498 or book online.

When felt is the right call

Torch-on felt suits simple roofs, especially garages and porches, and patches neatly if damaged. Near trees, we keep outlets clear of leaves so water doesn't pond. In the Old Town and Boxmoor conservation areas, visible changes may need permission. Our 10-year guarantee applies to every new felt roof.
