Acle flat roof installation and repair
With Acle livestock market on the doorstep, Acle gives us a mix of commercial, industrial and agricultural work alongside domestic roofs. Our flat roofing & epdm covers both ends of that — a single dwelling or a full unit — and the quote sets out the specification either way.

What Acle roofs typically need
Market village with housing, farm and commercial buildings.
Large-span farm and unit roofs
Sheeted roofs over the barns and packhouses around Acle livestock market need sheet, fixing and gutter-line inspection rather than tile-by-tile repair.
Wind-driven debris damage
Open ground either side of the A47 Acle Straight means grit and debris get thrown at roofs in a gale, chipping tiles and blocking gutter runs.
Soft or rotten decking
Where the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
The work, step by step
EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs for extensions, garages, dormers and outbuildings, with proper falls, trims and outlets.
- EPDM rubber roofs
- GRP fibreglass roofs
- Torch-on felt systems
- Extensions, garages and dormers
From first call to finished roof
Deck inspection
We lift a section to see the deck; nothing is laid over boards that are soft or damp.
Falls and detailing set out
Firrings, outlet positions and upstand heights are agreed before the membrane arrives.
Membrane installation
EPDM, GRP or felt installed with trims and upstands dressed properly at every edge.
Water test and handover
Outlets checked under flow, edges walked, and the finished roof handed over with the system details.
How we work — and what we don't claim
Domestic and commercial
From a single slipped tile to Acle livestock market, quoted on the same basis.
No overlaying failed decks
If the boards are wet, we replace them. Laying new membrane over a soft deck is the cheap answer that fails twice.
Local knowledge
Broadland District Council area work, the NR13 postcode district — we know the building types and what tends to fail on them.

Acle roofing questions
- Is the roof walkable?
- GRP takes foot traffic and suits balconies and terraces. EPDM is fine for maintenance access but isn't intended as a walking surface — if you need a usable deck, say so and we'll specify accordingly.
- Do you insulate at the same time?
- We can build a warm deck with insulation above the structure, which usually makes sense if the roof is coming off anyway and the room below is cold or prone to condensation.
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Acle extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- EPDM, fibreglass or felt — which should we choose?
- It depends on the deck, the traffic it takes and the budget. EPDM suits most extensions and garages, GRP suits balconies and anything walked on, and felt still makes sense on larger or awkward outbuildings. We'll set out the options at inspection.
- Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?
- Yes. Open fen exposure means wind uplift is the main enemy, so clipping patterns, verge fixing and adequate falls on flat roofs get more attention than they might in a sheltered street.

Exposure here punishes poorly fixed edge trims, so perimeter fixing gets more attention than the field of the roof. That is what we survey first. NR13 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in Broadland District Council.
