EPDM and fibreglass flat roofs in Bungay
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Bungay via the A143, about 6 miles from Beccles. 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 historic town-centre roofs and Waveney valley cottages.

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 here falls under East Suffolk Council and the NR35 postcode area.
Frequently working in and around printing works, Earsham Street businesses.
Covering Bungay and Beccles
About 6 miles apart — both are normal working areas for us. Free inspection either way.
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 around printing works?
- 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.
- Do we need permission from East Suffolk Council?
- Most like-for-like roof work doesn't need consent, but listed buildings and conservation areas can. If your property looks like it falls into that, we'll say so at inspection so it's dealt with before work starts.
