Ashby St Mary flat roof installation and repair
With agricultural holdings on the doorstep, Ashby St Mary gives us a mix of farmhouses, outbuildings and village housing. Our flat roofing & epdm covers both ends of Ashby St Mary, a single dwelling or a full unit, and the quote sets out the specification whichever it is. We know the streets around St Mary's church well, and the Chet valley lanes is a useful marker when we arrange access.

What Ashby St Mary roofs typically need
Village housing and agricultural roofs.
Access near the Chet valley lanes
Scaffold, unloading and parking around the Chet valley lanes are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Properties around St Mary's church
The buildings closest to St Mary's church take the brunt of the weather from that side, and they are the ones we are asked to look at most often here. The same applies along the approach to the Chet valley lanes.
Soft or rotten decking
Where a Ashby St Mary deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards come out before any new membrane goes down.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on village housing, which ends up costing more than clearing them in Ashby St Mary would have.
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.

Ashby St Mary roofing questions
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Ashby St Mary extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- Can you overlay the existing felt?
- Only if the deck below is dry and sound, and we'll lift a section to check. Overlaying a soft deck buys a year or two and costs the whole job again.
- 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.
- Our Ashby St Mary roof is village housing, is that a problem?
- Not at all, that is ordinary for Ashby St Mary. Village housing is among the most common things we work on in South Norfolk Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.
- What does a flat roofing & epdm quote in Ashby St Mary cost?
- Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Ashby St Mary are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Ashby St Mary address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.
