What Blakeney roofs typically need
Flint cottages, pantile roofs and exposed coastal weather.
Soft or rotten decking
Where a Blakeney deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards come out before any new membrane goes down.
Salt-scoured render and verges
Exposed gable verges weather quickly on the lanes towards Cley next the Sea side, so bargeboards and verge details are inspected alongside the covering.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt on Blakeney extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.
Matching historic coverings
Period and listed buildings near Blakeney need like-for-like coverings and correct detailing; we'll flag where North Norfolk District Council consent may be required.
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

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.

Nearby villages and towns
Blakeney sits about 5 miles from Holt, so Cley next the Sea, Holt and Stiffkey are all on the same run for us. Flat Roofing & EPDM enquiries here are handled the same way. In Blakeney that includes commercial premises around quayside businesses.
Frequently working in and around quayside businesses, holiday-let cottages.
Blakeney roofing questions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 work on commercial premises in Blakeney and around quayside businesses?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Blakeney, 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.
- Our Blakeney roof is flint cottages, is that a problem?
- Not at all, that is ordinary for Blakeney. Flint cottages is among the most common things we work on in North Norfolk District Council, and materials are matched wherever existing covering is being kept.

Exposure here punishes poorly fixed edge trims, so perimeter fixing gets more attention than the field of the roof. That is what we survey first. Blakeney addresses in NR25 are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in North Norfolk District Council.
