Properties around Bacton Gas Terminal
The buildings closest to Bacton Gas Terminal 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 Bacton Wood.
Access near the priory ruins at Broomholm
Scaffold, unloading and parking around the priory ruins at Broomholm are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt on Bacton extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.
Driven rain at abutments
Rain arriving horizontally at Bacton finds gaps that rain falling straight down never would. On seafront bungalows in Bacton it is chimneys, dormer cheeks and side abutments we check first.
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

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.

Bacton roofing questions
- Do you insulate at the same time?
- We can build a warm deck with insulation above the structure, which usually makes sense if the roof is coming off anyway and the room below is cold or prone to condensation.
- 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.
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Bacton extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- Does the coastal weather at Bacton change what you'd specify?
- Yes. On the coast at Bacton we lean towards stainless or non-ferrous fixings, dry-fix ridge and verge systems and heavier flashing details, because salt and wind shorten the life of standard mortar-bedded work.
- Where do you park the van and set up scaffold in Bacton?
- That gets agreed with you before anyone sets off for Bacton. Around the priory ruins at Broomholm the approaches can be tight, so unloading and scaffold positions are planned before the work starts rather than sorted out on the morning.
