EPDM and fibreglass flat roofs in Overstrand
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Overstrand via the B1159 coast road, about 2 miles from Cromer. That matters for flat roofing & epdm in Overstrand: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how materials get on site, and how work on Edwardian clifftop houses and natural slate roofs is sequenced. Jobs in this part of Overstrand are often within sight of The Pleasaunce, so we allow for the narrow approaches and parking that comes with it.

What happens after you call
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.
Our Norfolk service radius
Working out from Overstrand we regularly cover Cromer, Mundesley, Sheringham and Trimingham, a practical radius rather than a marketing map. Flat Roofing & EPDM enquiries here are handled the same way. Work in Overstrand falls under North Norfolk District Council and the NR27 postcode area.
Frequently working in and around clifftop hotels, village shops.

Specification options
- EPDM rubber membrane
- One-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages, no field seams, and it copes well with movement.
- Trims, upstands and outlets
- Edge trims, correctly formed upstands and adequate outlets, where nearly all flat roof failures actually begin.
- GRP fibreglass
- Laid in situ over a ply deck for balconies and anything walked on, finished with a hard topcoat.
- Warm-deck insulation build-ups
- Insulation above the deck keeps the structure warm and reduces condensation risk compared with old cold-deck details.
Flat Roofing & EPDM FAQs
- 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.
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Overstrand extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- 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.
- Do you clear up afterwards in Overstrand?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Overstrand address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
- Can you work on commercial premises in Overstrand and around clifftop hotels?
- Yes, shops, offices, workshops, agricultural and industrial units around Overstrand, scheduled so that trading and site access carry on where possible, with larger Norfolk roofs quoted alongside a planned maintenance option where that suits better than a one-off repair.
