Flat roofing in Holt
EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs for extensions, garages, dormers and outbuildings, with proper falls, trims and outlets. In Holt that usually means working on Georgian townhouses and conservation-area slate, alongside commercial jobs around Georgian high-street shops. North Norfolk District Council is the local authority for Holt, and anything that may need consent gets flagged before we start.

Typical jobs on Georgian townhouses
Georgian townhouses and period roofs in the conservation area.
Ponding water
Flats laid with too little fall around Holt hold water for days on end, which shortens the life of any membrane, so falls and outlet positions get reset rather than covered over.
Failed upstands and trims
Most flat-roof leaks in North Norfolk District Council start at the edges, at upstands, drip trims and the junction with the main wall, not out in the middle of the roof.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Holt call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
Tired felt and battens
Where the underfelt has perished, common on conservation-area slate, patch repairs stop being economic and a strip-and-re-cover is the honest recommendation.
Coverings suited to Holt
- GRP fibreglass
- Laid in situ over a ply deck for balconies and anything walked on, finished with a hard topcoat.
- Warm-deck insulation build-ups
- Insulation above the deck keeps the structure warm and reduces condensation risk compared with old cold-deck details.
- EPDM rubber membrane
- One-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages, no field seams, and it copes well with movement.
- Falls and firrings
- Firring pieces set the fall so water leaves the roof rather than sitting on it.

Practical answers before you book
- 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.
- 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.
- What does a flat roofing & epdm quote in Holt cost?
- Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Holt are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Holt address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in Holt (NR25)?
- Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Holt 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 Holt rather than given a fixed promise.
