Flat roof replacement across Brandon
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Brandon via the A1065, about 6 miles from Thetford. That matters for flat roofing & epdm: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on flint terraces and forest-edge bungalows.

How a Brandon job runs
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.
Where else we work from Brandon
Most weeks we are somewhere between Brandon and Thetford, which is why a free inspection here does not need to wait for a run of work to build up. Flat Roofing & EPDM enquiries here are handled the same way. Postcodes covered locally: IP27.
Frequently working in and around forestry businesses, Brandon industrial units.
Materials and systems we use
- Trims, upstands and outlets
- Edge trims, correctly formed upstands and adequate outlets — where nearly all flat roof failures actually begin.
- 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.
- EPDM rubber membrane
- One-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no field seams, and it copes well with movement.
Questions we get asked in Brandon
- 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.
- 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.
- What does a flat roofing & epdm quote in Brandon cost?
- The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.
- Do you clear up afterwards?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.
