Expert Felt Roof Repairs in Chigwell & Surrounding Areas – Kevington Roofing & Building LTD

At Kevington Roofing, we don't just offer a quick fix; we provide a thorough, lasting solution for your felt roof problems. Our process begins with a detailed assessment to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue, whether it’s a failed joint, a puncture, or general material fatigue. We then discuss the best repair strategy with you, offering transparent, no-obligation quotes for the work involved. Our skilled roofers use only high-performance, durable roofing felts and specialised techniques, including torch-on applications, to create a seamless, weatherproof seal. We handle every repair job with precision, ensuring the finished work integrates perfectly with your existing roof structure.

Our team is equipped to handle all types of felt roof issues. We regularly repair:

• Blistering Felt: When air or moisture gets trapped under the felt, causing bubbles or blisters that can eventually burst. We carefully cut out and re-bond or patch these areas.
• Cracks and Splits: Often caused by thermal expansion and contraction, these allow water to penetrate. We meticulously clean, prime, and patch or re-lay sections using high-quality felt.
• Ponding Water: Areas where water collects on the roof, leading to accelerated degradation. While sometimes a structural issue, we can often suggest and implement solutions to improve drainage.
• Degraded Mineral Surfacing: The protective top layer of felt can wear away, exposing the bitumen to UV rays. We can apply new mineral surfacing or recommend re-felting the affected area.
• Failed Flashing and Edging: Leaks often occur where the felt meets walls or other roof elements. We ensure all flashing and verge details are secure and watertight.

While we’re experts in felt roof repairs, we also advise on preventative measures to extend your roof’s lifespan. Regular inspections can catch small issues before they become major headaches. We can also clear blocked gutters and downpipes that cause water to back up onto your flat roof, preventing issues like ponding. Sometimes, if a felt roof is very old or extensively damaged, a full replacement might be the most cost-effective and reliable long-term option. We can provide a comprehensive quote for new flat roofing installations, including modern, durable systems like GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, if repair isn't the best solution for your needs.
