Flat roof replacement across Dersingham
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Dersingham via the A149, about 9 miles from King's Lynn. That matters for flat roofing & epdm in Dersingham: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how materials get on site, and how work on carrstone and brick cottages and estate housing is sequenced. Jobs in this part of Dersingham are often within sight of the Sandringham Estate, so we allow for the narrow approaches and parking that comes with it.

How a Dersingham 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.

Materials and systems we use
- Torch-on felt systems
- Multi-layer bitumen for larger or awkward flats where a robust, easily repairable finish is the practical choice.
- 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.
- EPDM rubber membrane
- One-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages, no field seams, and it copes well with movement.
Questions we get asked in Dersingham
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Dersingham extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- 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 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.
- What does a flat roofing & epdm quote in Dersingham cost?
- Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Dersingham are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Dersingham address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.
- Do you clear up afterwards in Dersingham?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Dersingham address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
