Felt Flat Roofs In Sawbridgeworth

Felt is still a practical choice for flat-roofed garages and extensions around Sawbridgeworth. Today's torch-on systems are built from several heat-bonded layers finished with a mineral cap sheet, which is far tougher than the thin felt many older roofs were covered in. It is a sound option for roofs mostly out of sight.

We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Local Knowledge

Replacing felt flat roofs in Sawbridgeworth

On post-war and newer homes around town, we often find garage and extension roofs where the felt has blistered, cracked or come away at the edges. Ponding water and moss are common signs, and a stain on the ceiling is often what prompts a call. We remove all the old layers and check the deck, replacing any soft boards. A base layer goes down, then the mineral cap sheet is torched on with overlapping joints. New trims finish the edges, and the wall abutment is properly flashed. Should modern felt ever be damaged, a local repair is simple.

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

Flame, timber and older buildings

Torch-on felt uses a flame, so we take great care near timber, especially on older buildings where fire risk needs extra thought. On timber-framed, listed or conservation area homes, we may suggest EPDM or GRP instead, which are laid without a flame. Like-for-like replacement elsewhere usually needs no permission.
