Flat roof replacement across Hethersett
Hethersett sits about 6 miles from Norwich, reached off the A11, and that position shapes the flat roofing & epdm we do here. Most of our the NR9 postcode district jobs involve new-build estates with concrete interlocking tiles and older village cottages, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting. We know the streets around Hethersett Academy well, and Kett's Oak on the B1172 is a useful marker when we arrange access.

Standards, insurance and guarantees
Domestic and commercial
From a single slipped tile to village centre shops, quoted on the same basis.
System-appropriate guarantees
Flat roof systems carry manufacturer material guarantees; we tell you which applies rather than implying a blanket one.
Emergency call-out
We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for leaks and storm damage — call and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.
Why Norfolk roofs fail
Modern estates alongside older village properties.
Soft or rotten decking
Where the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.
Properties around Hethersett Academy
The buildings closest to Hethersett Academy take the brunt of the weather from that side, and they are the ones we are asked to look at most often here. The same applies along the approach to Kett's Oak on the B1172.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on new-build estates with concrete interlocking tiles, which then costs more than the original clearance would have.
Extensions, porches and garages
Small flat roofs on extensions and garages are a large share of local work and are often quoted with the main roof.
Where else we work from Hethersett
Most weeks we are somewhere between Hethersett and Wymondham, 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 locally: NR9.
Frequently working in and around village centre shops, A11 corridor businesses.
How a Hethersett 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 Hethersett
- 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.
- 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.
- Will you patch it, or push a full new roof?
- Whichever is honest. If a repair will genuinely hold, that's what we quote. If the felt and battens underneath have gone, patching just moves the leak, and we'll show you why on the inspection.
- Do you cover the streets near Hethersett Academy?
- Yes — Hethersett Academy and everything around it is inside our normal round, as is Kett's Oak on the B1172. There is no separate call-out charge for that side of Hethersett, and the inspection is free wherever the property sits.
