EPDM and fibreglass flat roofs in Catfield
Catfield sits about 3 miles from Stalham, reached off the A149, and that position shapes the flat roofing & epdm we do here. Most of our the NR29 postcode district jobs involve village housing and agricultural outbuildings, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Why customers in Catfield call us
Local knowledge
North Norfolk District Council area work, the NR29 postcode district — we know the building types and what tends to fail on them.
No overlaying failed decks
If the boards are wet, we replace them. Laying new membrane over a soft deck is the cheap answer that fails twice.
Written specifications
Every quote states the materials and detailing, so you can see exactly what's included.
Common roof problems around Catfield
Village housing and rural outbuildings.
Soft or rotten decking
Where the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
Large-span farm and unit roofs
Sheeted roofs over the barns and packhouses around farm holdings need sheet, fixing and gutter-line inspection rather than tile-by-tile repair.
Outbuildings and farm structures
Barns, stores and stables are quoted alongside the house so one visit covers the holding.

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.
Flat Roofing & EPDM FAQs
- 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.
- 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.
- Do we need permission from North Norfolk District 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.
- Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?
- Yes. Open fen exposure means wind uplift is the main enemy, so clipping patterns, verge fixing and adequate falls on flat roofs get more attention than they might in a sheltered street.
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 Stalham and Wroxham get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
