Flat roof replacement across Attleborough
Attleborough sits about 15 miles from Norwich, reached off the A11, and that position shapes the flat roofing & epdm we do here. Most of our the NR17 postcode district jobs involve town housing and large-span commercial roofs, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Standards, insurance and guarantees
Domestic and commercial
From a single slipped tile to Haverscroft industrial estate, quoted on the same basis.
System-appropriate guarantees
Flat roof systems carry manufacturer material guarantees; we tell you which applies rather than implying a blanket one.
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.
Why Norfolk roofs fail
Town housing, farm buildings and commercial units.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on town housing, which then costs more than the original clearance would have.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished — common on large-span commercial roofs — patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
Soft or rotten decking
Where the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.
Downtime and access planning
Work around Haverscroft industrial estate is scheduled so trading, deliveries and site access continue.
Where else we work from Attleborough
Most weeks we are somewhere between Attleborough and Wymondham, which is why a free inspection here does not need to wait for a run of work to build up. Flat Roofing & EPDM enquiries here are handled the same way. Postcodes covered locally: NR17.
Frequently working in and around Haverscroft industrial estate, food-processing units.
How a Attleborough job runs
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.

Other roofing work in Attleborough
Questions we get asked in Attleborough
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Attleborough extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- How long should a new flat roof last?
- A well-installed EPDM or GRP roof on a sound, correctly falling deck should give decades of service. What kills flat roofs early is ponding water, poor upstands and being laid over a wet deck — all avoidable.
- 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.
- 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.
- Will you patch it, or push a full new roof?
- Whichever is honest. If a repair will genuinely hold, that's what we quote. If the felt and battens underneath have gone, patching just moves the leak, and we'll show you why on the inspection.
Where to go from here
EPDM for most extensions and garages, GRP where the surface gets walked on, felt where the roof is large or awkward — set out with the trade-offs at the free inspection. Neighbours in Wymondham and Dereham get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
