Common roof problems around Blofield Heath
Village housing, bungalows and extensions.
Extensions, porches and garages
Small flat roofs on extensions and garages are a large share of local work and are often quoted with the main roof.
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.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished — common on 1970s estates — patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
Ponding water
Flats laid without enough fall hold water for days, which shortens the life of any membrane. Falls and outlet positions get reset, not covered over.
Specification options
- Torch-on felt systems
- Multi-layer bitumen for larger or awkward flats where a robust, easily repairable finish is the practical choice.
- Falls and firrings
- Firring pieces set the fall so water leaves the roof rather than sitting on it.
- Trims, upstands and outlets
- Edge trims, correctly formed upstands and adequate outlets — where nearly all flat roof failures actually begin.
- EPDM rubber membrane
- One-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no field seams, and it copes well with movement.

Flat Roofing & EPDM FAQs
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Our roof is bungalows — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. bungalows 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.
- Will you patch it, or push a full new roof?
- Whichever is honest. If a repair will genuinely hold, that's what we quote. If the felt and battens underneath have gone, patching just moves the leak, and we'll show you why on the inspection.
Getting a quote
We will lift a section of the existing roof before pricing. Laying new EPDM or fibreglass over a wet deck is the cheap answer that costs twice. Neighbours in Thorpe St Andrew and Acle get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
