Felt Flat Roofs In Hertford

Torch-on felt remains a practical, good-value choice for many of the garage, porch and extension roofs on Hertford's post-war estates. It is nothing like old single-layer felt: a modern system is built up in layers fused with heat and finished with a hard-wearing mineral surface.

Local Knowledge

Felt roofs we replace around Hertford

On the outer estates, and in nearby places like Hertford Heath, we often meet garages and porches with felt that is well past its best. It shows the usual faults: surface cracking, blisters, curled edges, and puddles where the deck has dipped. We remove the old felt down to the deck and replace any rotten timber. Where the roof has no fall, we add firring strips so water drains rather than ponds. The new system goes on in three parts: a base sheet, a torched-on underlay, and a mineral cap sheet whose stone finish protects the felt from sun. Upstands are taken up the wall and covered with a flashing.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01279 294082 or book online.

Felt, trees and permissions

Torch-on felt is straightforward to repair if a falling branch or a dropped tool damages it, which suits garages under garden trees. If your home is listed or in the conservation area, we check consent before changing anything visible. You get our 10-year guarantee with a new felt roof.
