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 that — a single dwelling or a full unit — and the quote sets out the specification either way. 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 the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on village housing, which then costs more than the original clearance 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.
How we work — and what we don't claim
Domestic and commercial
From a single slipped tile to agricultural holdings, quoted on the same basis.
Emergency call-out
We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for leaks and storm damage — call and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.
System-appropriate guarantees
Flat roof systems carry manufacturer material guarantees; we tell you which applies rather than implying a blanket one.
Want a written quote you can compare?
Ours lists materials, membrane, fixings and detailing — so other Norfolk quotes can be judged against it properly.
Nearby villages and towns
Neighbouring Bergh Apton, Loddon, Norwich and Acle come under the same South Norfolk Council patch, so there is no extra travel charge for flat roofing & epdm there. Flat Roofing & EPDM enquiries here are handled the same way. That includes commercial premises around agricultural holdings.

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 roof is village housing — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. village housing is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.
- What does a flat roofing & epdm quote in Ashby St Mary cost?
- The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.
Book a free inspection
Flat roofs fail at the edges and under standing water. Get the falls, upstands and outlets right on your Ashby St Mary extension and the membrane choice becomes the easy part. We run in on the A146, usually within a few days of your call — sooner if water is coming in.
