Flat roofing in Aylsham
EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs for extensions, garages, dormers and outbuildings, with proper falls, trims and outlets. In Aylsham that usually means working on Georgian market-town frontages with natural slate and Victorian brick terraces, alongside commercial jobs around Dunkirk industrial estate. Broadland District Council is the local authority for Aylsham, and anything that may need consent gets flagged before we start. Aylsham Market Place anchors this part of Aylsham, and the properties around it are the ones we are called to most.

Typical jobs on Georgian market-town frontages with natural slate
Georgian market-town roofs and modern estates.
Failed upstands and trims
Most flat-roof leaks in Broadland District Council start at the edges, at upstands, drip trims and the junction with the main wall, not out in the middle of the roof.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt on Aylsham extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
Homes and small commercial premises in Aylsham are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and written specification second.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished, common on Victorian brick terraces, patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
Coverings suited to Aylsham
- EPDM rubber membrane
- One-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages, no field seams, and it copes well with movement.
- GRP fibreglass
- Laid in situ over a ply deck for balconies and anything walked on, finished with a hard topcoat.
- Falls and firrings
- Firring pieces set the fall so water leaves the roof rather than sitting on it.
- Warm-deck insulation build-ups
- Insulation above the deck keeps the structure warm and reduces condensation risk compared with old cold-deck details.

Practical answers before you book
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Aylsham extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- 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.
- 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.
- Where do you park the van and set up scaffold in Aylsham?
- That gets agreed with you before anyone sets off for Aylsham. Around Aylsham Market Place the approaches can be tight, so unloading and scaffold positions are planned before the work starts rather than sorted out on the morning.
- Can you work on commercial premises in Aylsham and around Dunkirk industrial estate?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Aylsham, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Norfolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
