Felt Flat Roofs In Potters Bar

Felt-covered garages and extensions are a familiar part of Potters Bar's post-war streets. The old single-layer felt on many of them has cracked and blistered, but a new torch-on system is a big step up: multiple reinforced layers fused together, with a hard-wearing mineral cap sheet on top.

Local Knowledge

Felt flat roof work in Potters Bar

Common faults we find are splits along the joint where the flat roof meets the house wall, blisters, bare patches where stone chippings have gone, and puddles that sit for days after rain. Below, the deck is often rotten around the edges. We strip back the old felt, replace any rotten decking, and lay a torch-on base sheet and mineral cap sheet, fully bonded. New drip trims at the gutter edge and dressed upstands at the walls finish the job, giving a robust, traditional roof.

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

Choosing felt for your Potters Bar roof

Felt is a sensible choice where a garage forms part of a block, or where you want a traditional look. We take extra care with the torch near timber fascias and plastic gutters. If ponding is a problem, we can improve the fall when laying the new deck. A 10-year guarantee comes with the new roof.
