EPDM and fibreglass flat roofs in Thetford
Thetford sits about 30 miles from Norwich, reached off the A11, and that position shapes the flat roofing & epdm we do here. Most of our the IP24 postcode district jobs involve 1960s overspill estates and flint town-centre buildings, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Common roof problems around Thetford
Estate housing, period cottages and industrial units.
Failed ridge and hip mortar
Bedding mortar on 1960s overspill estates cracks and lets ridge tiles move; dry-fix is the usual long-term answer on the exposed side towards the A11.
Downtime and access planning
Work around Burrell Way industrial estate is scheduled so trading, deliveries and site access continue.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on 1960s overspill estates, which ends up costing more than clearing them in Thetford would have.
Soft or rotten decking
Where a Thetford deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards come out before any new membrane goes down.

EPDM, GRP or felt installed with trims and upstands dressed properly at every edge.
Water test and handover

Flat Roofing & EPDM FAQs
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Thetford 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.
- 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.
- Do you clear up afterwards in Thetford?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Thetford address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
- Do we need permission from Breckland District Council for a roof in Thetford?
- Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Thetford can, so if your property looks like one of those it gets flagged at the inspection and dealt with before anyone starts work.
Getting a quote
We will lift a section of the existing roof before pricing. Laying new EPDM or fibreglass over a wet deck is the cheap answer that costs twice. Neighbours in Watton and Attleborough get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
