Flat roofing in North Walsham
EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs for extensions, garages, dormers and outbuildings, with proper falls, trims and outlets. In North Walsham that usually means working on market-town terraces and 1960s–80s estates, alongside commercial jobs around Cornish Way industrial estate. North Norfolk District Council is the local authority, and we'll flag anything that may need consent before we start.

Typical jobs on market-town terraces
Market-town terraces, bungalows and commercial units.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most North Walsham call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Ponding water
Flats laid without enough fall hold water for days, which shortens the life of any membrane. Falls and outlet positions get reset, not covered over.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
Coverings suited to North Walsham
- Warm-deck insulation build-ups
- Insulation above the deck keeps the structure warm and reduces condensation risk compared with old cold-deck details.
- Torch-on felt systems
- Multi-layer bitumen for larger or awkward flats where a robust, easily repairable finish is the practical choice.
- Falls and firrings
- Firring pieces set the fall so water leaves the roof rather than sitting on it.
- EPDM rubber membrane
- One-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no field seams, and it copes well with movement.

Practical answers before you book
- 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.
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On North Walsham extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- Our roof is market-town terraces — is that a problem?
- No, it's typical for the area. market-town terraces 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.
- Will you patch it, or push a full new roof?
- Whichever is honest. If a repair will genuinely hold, that's what we quote. If the felt and battens underneath have gone, patching just moves the leak, and we'll show you why on the inspection.
