EPDM and fibreglass flat roofs in Little Melton
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Little Melton via the B1108, about 5 miles from Norwich. That matters for flat roofing & epdm in Little Melton: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how materials get on site, and how work on village bungalows and brick cottages is sequenced. Jobs in this part of Little Melton are often within sight of All Saints church, so we allow for the narrow approaches and parking that comes with it.

EPDM, GRP or felt installed with trims and upstands dressed properly at every edge.
Water test and handover

Specification options
- 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.
- Torch-on felt systems
- Multi-layer bitumen for larger or awkward flats where a robust, easily repairable finish is the practical choice.
Flat Roofing & EPDM FAQs
- 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.
- 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.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in Little Melton (NR9)?
- Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Little Melton 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 Little Melton rather than given a fixed promise.
- Do you actually cover Little Melton, or just the Norwich area?
- We cover it. We're based at Costessey, Norwich and Little Melton is about 5 miles from Norwich, reached on the B1108. Work in Little Melton is part of the ordinary week here, not a special trip.
