Flat roof replacement across Cromer
Cromer sits about 23 miles from Norwich, reached off the A149, and that position shapes the flat roofing & epdm we do here. Most of our the NR27 postcode district jobs involve Victorian terraces and large slated hotel roofs, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Local knowledge
Cromer sits in North Norfolk District Council, the NR27 postcode district, and we know the building types here and what tends to fail on them.
Domestic and commercial
From a single slipped tile in Cromer to seafront hotels, quoted on the same basis.
Why coastal roofs fail
Victorian terraces, seafront properties and salt-laden winds.
Corroded fixings and flashings
Nails, clips and thin flashings degrade faster in the marine air around NR27, so on exposed Cromer elevations we specify stainless or non-ferrous.
Wind-lifted ridges and verges
Salt-laden gusts coming in off the coast at Cromer work at the bedding mortar first. On Cromer roofs we usually recommend dry-fix ridge and verge systems when re-covering.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt on Cromer extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
Homes and small commercial premises in Cromer are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and written specification second.
Where else we work from Cromer
Most weeks we are somewhere between Cromer and Sheringham, 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 around Cromer: NR27.
Frequently working in and around seafront hotels, Church Street shops.
How a Cromer 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.

Questions we get asked in Cromer
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Cromer 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.
- Can you work on commercial premises in Cromer and around seafront hotels?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Cromer, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Norfolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in Cromer (NR27)?
- Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Cromer is arranged from there. A 24/7 emergency call-out is advertised for active leaks and storm damage, and you'll be told on the phone what is realistic for Cromer rather than given a fixed promise.
Where to go from here
EPDM for most extensions and garages, GRP where the surface gets walked on, felt where the roof is large or awkward, set out with the trade-offs at the free inspection. Neighbours in Sheringham and Mundesley get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
