Flat roofing in Stiffkey
EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs for extensions, garages, dormers and outbuildings, with proper falls, trims and outlets. In Stiffkey that usually means working on pantile-covered flint cottages and brick-and-flint barns, alongside commercial jobs around village smallholdings. North Norfolk District Council is the local authority, and we'll flag anything that may need consent before we start. The Stiffkey valley lanes anchors this part of Stiffkey, and the properties around it are the ones we are called to most.

Typical jobs on pantile-covered flint cottages

Outbuildings and farm structures
Barns, stores and stables are quoted alongside the house so one visit covers the holding.
Properties around Stiffkey Marshes
The buildings closest to Stiffkey Marshes take the brunt of the weather from that side, and they are the ones we are asked to look at most often here. The same applies along the approach to St John the Baptist church.
Corroded fixings and flashings
Nails, clips and thin flashings degrade faster in the marine air around NR23, so we specify stainless or non-ferrous where they will be exposed.
Access near the Stiffkey valley lanes
Scaffold, unloading and parking around the Stiffkey valley lanes are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.
Coverings suited to Stiffkey
- 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.
- Torch-on felt systems
- Multi-layer bitumen for larger or awkward flats where a robust, easily repairable finish is the practical choice.

Practical answers before you book
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Stiffkey extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do you cover the streets near Stiffkey Marshes?
- Yes — Stiffkey Marshes and everything around it is inside our normal round, as is St John the Baptist church. There is no separate call-out charge for that side of Stiffkey, and the inspection is free wherever the property sits.

Next steps in Stiffkey
Exposure here punishes poorly fixed edge trims, so perimeter fixing gets more attention than the field of the roof. That is what we survey first. Brick-and-flint barns nearby get the same treatment: see the roof, price it in writing, then book it.
