Flat roof replacement across Loddon
Loddon sits about 11 miles from Norwich, reached off the A146, and that position shapes the flat roofing & epdm we do here. Most of our the NR14 postcode district jobs involve riverside period property and modern infill housing, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Standards, insurance and guarantees
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.
Independent, Costessey based
We're an independent firm at 41 The Street, Costessey, working out to Loddon ourselves rather than passing you to a national call centre.
Detailing shown before install
Upstands, trims and outlet positions agreed with you before anything is bonded down.
Why Norfolk roofs fail
Riverside town centre with period and modern roofs.
Soft or rotten decking
Where the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.
Failed upstands and trims
Most flat-roof leaks start at the edges — upstands, drip trims and the junction with the main wall — not in the middle of the roof.
Rot at eaves and fascia
Persistent damp shows up first at eaves timbers on riverside period property, so we check the deck edge before re-covering.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Where else we work from Loddon
Most weeks we are somewhere between Loddon and Bergh Apton, 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: NR14.
Frequently working in and around George Lane businesses, staithe-side units.
How a Loddon 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 Loddon
- 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.
- 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.
- Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?
- Sometimes. Sheltered streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold or heavy moss growth all change how we'd approach the work.
- What does a flat roofing & epdm quote in Loddon cost?
- The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.
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 Bergh Apton and Ashby St Mary get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
