Flat roofing in Honingham
EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs for extensions, garages, dormers and outbuildings, with proper falls, trims and outlets. In Honingham that usually means working on estate cottages and brick-and-flint properties, alongside commercial jobs around Honingham Thorpe farm enterprises. Broadland District Council is the local authority for Honingham, and anything that may need consent gets flagged before we start.

Typical jobs on estate cottages
Estate cottages and roadside farm buildings.
Soft or rotten decking
Where a Honingham deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards come out before any new membrane goes down.
Access near the A47 Honingham junction
Scaffold, unloading and parking around the A47 Honingham junction are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt on Honingham extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.

Coverings suited to Honingham
- 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.
- 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.

Practical answers before you book
- 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.
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Honingham extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- EPDM, fibreglass or felt, which should we choose?
- It depends on the deck, the traffic it takes and the budget. EPDM suits most extensions and garages, GRP suits balconies and anything walked on, and felt still makes sense on larger or awkward outbuildings. We'll set out the options at inspection.
- Do you clear up afterwards in Honingham?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Honingham address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
