Flat roof replacement across Stalham
We are based at Costessey near Norwich and reach Stalham via the A149, about 6 miles from North Walsham. That matters for flat roofing & epdm: it decides how quickly we can inspect, how we get materials on site, and how we sequence work on boatyard sheds and bungalows.

How a Stalham 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 Stalham
The NR12 postcode district plus North Walsham, Wroxham, Catfield and Mundesley are all inside our normal Norfolk working area. Flat Roofing & EPDM enquiries here are handled the same way. Postcodes covered locally: NR12.
Frequently working in and around boatyards, Broads-side marine businesses.
Materials and systems we use
- 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.
- EPDM rubber membrane
- One-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no field seams, and it copes well with movement.
- Falls and firrings
- Firring pieces set the fall so water leaves the roof rather than sitting on it.
Questions we get asked in Stalham
- 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 Stalham extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- 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.
- 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.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in NR12?
- Call 07437 005301 and we'll arrange an inspection. We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks and storm damage, and we'll tell you on the phone what's realistic rather than promise a fixed time.
