Common roof problems around Salhouse
Village cottages, bungalows and rural outbuildings.
Outbuildings and farm structures
Barns, stores and stables around Salhouse are quoted alongside the house so a single visit covers the whole holding.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt on Salhouse extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.
Rot at eaves and fascia
Persistent damp shows up first at eaves timbers on brick-and-pantile cottages around Salhouse, so the deck edge gets checked before re-covering.
Access near All Saints church
Scaffold, unloading and parking around All Saints church are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
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.
- Torch-on felt systems
- Multi-layer bitumen for larger or awkward flats where a robust, easily repairable finish is the practical choice.
- 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
- 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.
- Do you insulate at the same time?
- We can build a warm deck with insulation above the structure, which usually makes sense if the roof is coming off anyway and the room below is cold or prone to condensation.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in Salhouse (NR13)?
- Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Salhouse 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 Salhouse rather than given a fixed promise.
- EPDM, fibreglass or felt, which should we choose?
- It depends on the deck, the traffic it takes and the budget. EPDM suits most extensions and garages, GRP suits balconies and anything walked on, and felt still makes sense on larger or awkward outbuildings. We'll set out the options at inspection.
