Felt Flat Roofs In Welwyn Garden City

Garages, porches and extensions on Welwyn Garden City's post-war estates often have felt roofs, and many sit under the trees that line the town's avenues. Falling leaves and branches take a toll, so a repairable roof covering makes sense. Modern torch-on felt, built in bonded layers with a mineral cap sheet, fits that bill.

Options for your roof

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

Local Knowledge

Replacing felt roofs around the town

We see felt roofs with cracking, blistering and moss growing in shallow puddles where outlets have clogged with leaves. Once water gets below the felt, the deck can rot. We remove the old layers back to the deck and replace any damaged boards. The new system has a base layer, a torched-on underlay, and a mineral cap sheet that guards against sunlight and gives a hard-wearing surface. Upstands are formed against walls and covered with flashings, and drip trims at the edges direct water into the gutter rather than down the fascia. Lead flashings at the wall are renewed if they have cracked.

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

Practical points for felt in Welwyn Garden City

If a branch damages torch-on felt, a patch repair is straightforward. Keep outlets clear of leaves in autumn to stop ponding. For homes in the conservation area or covered by the Estate Management Scheme, visible changes may need consent. We include our 10-year guarantee with every new felt flat roof.
