Felt Flat Roofs In Hitchin
Many flat-roofed garages and extensions on Hitchin's post-war and newer homes were first covered in felt, and modern torch-on felt is still a good, practical replacement. Laid in bonded layers with a mineral cap sheet, it is far tougher than the old single layers that crack and blister.

Torch-on felt roofs in Hitchin
When old felt fails, we usually see crazing, blisters, lost chippings and water sitting in dips. We strip the roof, check the joists and lay a new deck where the boards are soft. A base layer is torched down, followed by a mineral-surfaced cap sheet, with all laps sealed. Upstands go up the walls and are covered by flashings, and edge trims finish the roof neatly into the gutter. The mineral finish shields the felt from sunlight and gives a hard-wearing surface that copes with the odd maintenance visit. New felt roofs in Hitchin come with our 10-year guarantee.

Hitchin's centre has many old timber-framed buildings, and torching next to old timber needs real caution. In those spots we may suggest EPDM or GRP instead, which are laid cold. We compare all three honestly, so you can weigh them up. On listed buildings, we check consent before starting.
