Flat roof replacement across Hunstanton
Hunstanton sits about 16 miles from King's Lynn, reached off the A149, and that position shapes the flat roofing & epdm we do here. Most of our the PE36 postcode district jobs involve carrstone villas and guest houses, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Standards, insurance and guarantees
Detailing shown before install
Upstands, trims and outlet positions agreed with you before anything is bonded down.
System-appropriate guarantees
Flat roof systems carry manufacturer material guarantees; we tell you which applies rather than implying a blanket one.
Free inspections
Inspections in Hunstanton are free and carry no obligation — including the written quotation.
Why coastal roofs fail
Seafront properties and carrstone cottages in exposed coastal weather.
Corroded fixings and flashings
Nails, clips and thin flashings degrade faster in the marine air around PE36, so we specify stainless or non-ferrous where they will be exposed.
Holiday lets and seasonal timing
Lets and chalets are usually best worked on out of season; we plan dates around bookings.
Soft or rotten decking
Where the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.
Salt-scoured render and verges
Exposed gable verges weather quickly on the lanes towards King's Lynn side, so bargeboards and verge details are inspected alongside the covering.

How a Hunstanton 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 Hunstanton
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Hunstanton 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 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.
- 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.
- Does the coastal weather change what you'd specify?
- Yes. Near the coast we lean towards stainless or non-ferrous fixings, dry-fix ridge and verge systems and heavier flashing details, because salt and wind shorten the life of standard mortar-bedded work.
- Our roof is carrstone villas — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. carrstone villas is one of the most common types we work on locally, and we'll match materials where any of the existing covering is being retained.
Where to go from here
EPDM for most extensions and garages, GRP where the surface gets walked on, felt where the roof is large or awkward — set out with the trade-offs at the free inspection. Neighbours in King's Lynn and Dersingham get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
