Flat roof replacement across Framlingham
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Framlingham via the B1116, about 12 miles from Woodbridge. That matters for flat roofing & epdm in Framlingham: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how materials get on site, and how work on listed timber-framed buildings and castle-adjacent period roofs is sequenced.

How a Framlingham 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.
Where else we work from Framlingham
The IP13 postcode district plus Saxmundham, Woodbridge, Eye and Stowmarket are all inside our normal Suffolk working area. Flat Roofing & EPDM enquiries here are handled the same way. Postcodes covered around Framlingham: IP13.
Frequently working in and around market-hill businesses, college buildings.
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.
- GRP fibreglass
- Laid in situ over a ply deck for balconies and anything walked on, finished with a hard topcoat.
- 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.
Questions we get asked in Framlingham
- 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.
- 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.
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Framlingham 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 in Framlingham and around market-hill businesses?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Framlingham, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Suffolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
- Will you patch our Framlingham roof, or push a full replacement?
- Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Framlingham 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.
