Blakeney flat roof installation and repair
With quayside businesses on the doorstep, Blakeney gives us a mix of period and listed property alongside everyday domestic work. Our flat roofing & epdm covers both ends of that — a single dwelling or a full unit — and the quote sets out the specification either way.

What Blakeney roofs typically need
Flint cottages, pantile roofs and exposed coastal weather.
Soft or rotten decking
Where the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.
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 splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
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.

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. That includes commercial premises around quayside businesses.

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 around quayside businesses?
- 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.
- Our roof is flint cottages — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. flint cottages is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.

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. NR25 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in North Norfolk District Council.
