Flat roofing in Heacham
EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs for extensions, garages, dormers and outbuildings, with proper falls, trims and outlets. In Heacham that usually means working on bungalows and chalets, alongside commercial jobs around holiday parks. King's Lynn & West Norfolk Borough Council is the local authority, and we'll flag anything that may need consent before we start.

Typical jobs on bungalows
Bungalows, chalets and coastal housing.
Driven rain at abutments
Rain arriving horizontally finds gaps that vertical rain never would. On bungalows it is chimneys, dormer cheeks and side abutments we check first.
Salt-scoured render and verges
Exposed gable verges weather quickly on the lanes towards Hunstanton side, so bargeboards and verge details are inspected alongside the covering.
Soft or rotten decking
Where the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.
Holiday lets and seasonal timing
Lets and chalets are usually best worked on out of season; we plan dates around bookings.
Coverings suited to Heacham
- GRP fibreglass
- Laid in situ over a ply deck for balconies and anything walked on, finished with a hard topcoat.
- EPDM rubber membrane
- One-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no field seams, and it copes well with movement.
- Trims, upstands and outlets
- Edge trims, correctly formed upstands and adequate outlets — where nearly all flat roof failures actually begin.
- Falls and firrings
- Firring pieces set the fall so water leaves the roof rather than sitting on it.

Practical answers before you book
- 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.
- 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.
- Do you clear up afterwards?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.
- Do we need permission from King's Lynn & West Norfolk Borough 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.
What you can expect from us
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.
Fully insured
We carry insurance for the work we take on, and can confirm cover before we start.
