Typical jobs on Georgian village houses
Period village homes and former RAF Coltishall estate housing.
Failed upstands and trims
Most flat-roof leaks in Broadland District Council start at the edges, at upstands, drip trims and the junction with the main wall, not out in the middle of the roof.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
Homes and small commercial premises in Coltishall are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and written specification second.
Rot at eaves and fascia
Persistent damp shows up first at eaves timbers on Georgian village houses around Coltishall, so the deck edge gets checked before re-covering.
Overhanging trees
Leaf fall from the trees along the valley fills gutters and valleys across NR12, which around Coltishall is a maintenance issue long before it becomes a roofing one.

Our working method
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.
What you can expect from us
Fully insured
Insurance is carried for the work we take on around Coltishall, and cover can be confirmed before anyone goes up.
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.
System-appropriate guarantees
Flat roof systems carry manufacturer material guarantees; we tell you which applies rather than implying a blanket one.

Practical answers before you book
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Coltishall extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- 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.
- Will you patch our Coltishall roof, or push a full replacement?
- Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Coltishall property that is what gets quoted, and if the felt and battens underneath have gone then patching only moves the leak, which we'll show you while we're on site.
- Do you clear up afterwards in Coltishall?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Coltishall address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
