Felt Flat Roofs In Stevenage

Most flat roofs on Stevenage's post-war homes were first covered in felt, and plenty still are. Old felt cracks, blisters and ponds water, which leads many owners to assume felt is the problem. Modern torch-on felt is a very different product, built up in several bonded layers, and it remains a practical, good-value choice.

Local Knowledge

Old felt and new felt in Stevenage

On garages and porches in Shephall, Broadwater and Bedwell, we regularly find the original felt crazed with cracks, lifting at the seams, or patched so many times that nobody can tell where the leak starts. Once water has got under, the deck often goes soft. A new torch-on system starts with stripping the old layers and replacing any spongy boards. Then we lay a base sheet, torch on an underlay, and finish with a mineral cap sheet whose stone chippings shield the felt from sunlight. Drip edges and upstands are dressed properly, so rainwater runs off rather than tracking back under the edges.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01438 870485 or book online.

Choosing felt in Stevenage

Felt suits straightforward garage, porch and dormer roofs, and it is easy to repair later if something lands on it. Where a roof will be walked on, we may suggest GRP instead. On Old Town properties in the conservation area we check whether any permission applies. A new felt roof from us carries our 10-year guarantee.
