Flat roof replacement across Reepham
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Reepham via the B1145, about 12 miles from Norwich. That matters for flat roofing & epdm in Reepham: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how materials get on site, and how work on period market-square buildings and farmhouses and barns is sequenced. Jobs in this part of Reepham are often within sight of Reepham Market Place, so we allow for the narrow approaches and parking that comes with it.

How a Reepham 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.
Where else we work from Reepham
Most weeks we are somewhere between Reepham and Aylsham, 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 around Reepham: NR10.
Frequently working in and around market-square businesses, surrounding farm estates.
Materials and systems we use
- Torch-on felt systems
- Multi-layer bitumen for larger or awkward flats where a robust, easily repairable finish is the practical choice.
- 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.
- EPDM rubber membrane
- One-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages, no field seams, and it copes well with movement.
Questions we get asked in Reepham
- 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.
- 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 Reepham extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- Will you patch our Reepham roof, or push a full replacement?
- Whichever is honest for the roof in front of us: if a repair will genuinely hold on your Reepham property that is what gets quoted, and if the felt and battens underneath have gone then patching only moves the leak, which we'll show you while we're on site.
- Do you clear up afterwards in Reepham?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Reepham address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
