EPDM and fibreglass flat roofs in Trimingham

Trimingham sits about 5 miles from Cromer, reached off the B1159 coast road, and that position shapes the flat roofing & epdm we do here. Most of our the NR11 postcode district jobs involve clifftop cottages and post-war bungalows, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting. We know the streets around Trimingham cliffs well, and St John's church is a useful marker when we arrange access.

Common roof problems around Trimingham

Clifftop cottages and bungalows on an eroding coast.

  • Driven rain at abutments

    Rain arriving horizontally at Trimingham finds gaps that rain falling straight down never would. On clifftop cottages in Trimingham it is chimneys, dormer cheeks and side abutments we check first.

  • Ponding water

    Flats laid with too little fall around Trimingham hold water for days on end, which shortens the life of any membrane, so falls and outlet positions get reset rather than covered over.

  • Access near the radar station mast

    Scaffold, unloading and parking around the radar station mast are agreed before the van arrives, so nothing on your side of the road is blocked longer than it needs to be.

  • Holiday lets and seasonal timing

    Lets and chalets around Trimingham are best worked on out of season, so dates are planned around the bookings.

Flat Roofing & EPDM FAQs

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.
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 Trimingham 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 clear up afterwards in Trimingham?
Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Trimingham address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
What does a flat roofing & epdm quote in Trimingham cost?
Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Trimingham are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Trimingham address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.

Getting a quote

EPDM for most extensions and garages, GRP where the surface gets walked on, felt where the roof is large or awkward, set out with the trade-offs at the free inspection. Ask for the Trimingham inspection slot that suits you; we are often over at Overstrand the same week.
