What happens after you call
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.
Our Suffolk service radius
We quote flat roofing & epdm in Beccles, Harleston and Halesworth on the same visit pattern as Bungay, running out on the A143. Flat Roofing & EPDM enquiries here are handled the same way. Work in Bungay falls under East Suffolk Council and the NR35 postcode area.
Frequently working in and around printing works, Earsham Street businesses.

About 6 miles apart, Bungay and Beccles are both ordinary working areas for us. The inspection is free whether the property is in Bungay or over towards Beccles.
Specification options
- Warm-deck insulation build-ups
- Insulation above the deck keeps the structure warm and reduces condensation risk compared with old cold-deck details.
- 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
- 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 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.
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Bungay extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- Can you work on commercial premises in Bungay and around printing works?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Bungay, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Suffolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
- Do we need permission from East Suffolk Council for a roof in Bungay?
- Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Bungay can, so if your property looks like one of those it gets flagged at the inspection and dealt with before anyone starts work.
