Flat roofing in Watton
With Threxton Road industrial estate on the doorstep, Watton gives us a mix of domestic and light commercial roofs. Our flat roofing & epdm covers both ends of that — a single dwelling or a full unit — and the quote sets out the specification either way.

Typical jobs on bungalows
Town housing, bungalows and light commercial premises.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on bungalows, which then costs more than the original clearance would have.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Ponding water
Flats laid without enough fall hold water for days, which shortens the life of any membrane. Falls and outlet positions get reset, not covered over.
Soft or rotten decking
Where the deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards are replaced before any new membrane is laid.

Our working method
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.
What you can expect from us
System-appropriate guarantees
Flat roof systems carry manufacturer material guarantees; we tell you which applies rather than implying a blanket one.
No overlaying failed decks
If the boards are wet, we replace them. Laying new membrane over a soft deck is the cheap answer that fails twice.
Independent, Costessey based
We're an independent firm at 41 The Street, Costessey, working out to Watton ourselves rather than passing you to a national call centre.

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 Watton extensions it's usually falls that were never set properly. We reset falls with firrings rather than lay new membrane over the same puddle.
- 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.
- 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 clear up afterwards?
- Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste removed and gutters cleared before we invoice.
- Does the exposure here change what you'd specify?
- Sometimes. Sheltered streets can run standard details, but shared valleys, restricted scaffold or heavy moss growth all change how we'd approach the work.
Next steps in Watton
Flat roofs fail at the edges and under standing water. Get the falls, upstands and outlets right on your Watton extension and the membrane choice becomes the easy part. IP25 addresses are quoted on the same terms as anywhere else in Breckland District Council.
