Local Knowledge

Felt roofs we replace in Hoddesdon

When we inspect an old felt roof in Rye Park or the surrounding streets, we usually see surface crazing, blisters where moisture is trapped, and splits along the edges and around the wall join. Inside, there may be a stain on the garage ceiling. We remove all the old layers and check the deck, replacing soft boards. Then a base layer goes down, followed by the mineral cap sheet, torched on with lapped joints. Edges get new trims and the wall is properly flashed. For roofs out of sight, such as many garages, modern felt is a dependable choice that is simple to patch if ever damaged.

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

A few things to consider

Because torch-on felt uses a flame, we take extra care near timber fascias and plan the work safely. In a block of garages we agree edges with neighbours. If your home is in the historic centre's conservation area or listed, we check whether anything beyond like-for-like needs approval.
