Felt Flat Roofs In Rickmansworth

Felt is still the most familiar flat roof covering in Rickmansworth, found on post-war garages, porches and extensions across the town. Old felt was a single layer stuck down with hot bitumen, but modern torch-on felt is a different product: several layers fused together and finished with a mineral cap sheet.

Local Knowledge

Felt flat roofs we replace around Rickmansworth

On older felt roofs around Mill End, Maple Cross and the post-war streets of the town, we usually find the same faults: cracking where the felt meets the wall, blisters where moisture is trapped, and chippings washed into the gutter leaving bare felt exposed. Under mature trees near the rivers, moss and leaf litter hold water on the surface too. We strip the old layers, replace any rotten decking, then torch on a base layer and a mineral-finished cap sheet. New upstands, drip edges and flashings are fitted so the roof sheds water properly.

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

Is felt right for your Rickmansworth roof?

Torch-on felt suits roofs where you want a traditional finish, or where it needs to match a neighbour's roof on a shared garage block. Heat is used to lay it, so we take care around timber fascias and nearby walls. If you prefer, we can also quote for EPDM or GRP. A new flat roof is a new roof, so it comes with our 10-year guarantee.
