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, and we'll flag anything that may need consent 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 start at the edges — upstands, drip trims and the junction with the main wall — not in the middle of the roof.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, 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 here?
- We agree that with you first. 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 around Dunkirk industrial estate?
- Yes — shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units. Work is scheduled so trading and site access carry on where possible, and larger roofs are quoted with a planned maintenance option if that's more useful than a one-off repair.
