EPDM and fibreglass flat roofs in Wroxham
Damp river-valley air around Wroxham keeps moss and blocked valleys near the top of the fault list. If you are looking at flat roofing & epdm in Wroxham, the practical questions are usually the same: what is actually failing, how much of the roof it affects, and whether it can be repaired or needs replacing. We answer those on site, free of charge.

Common roof problems around Wroxham
Riverside properties, lodges and flat-roof extensions.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt splits at movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands. Overlaying rarely fixes either.
Failed upstands and trims
Most flat-roof leaks start at the edges — upstands, drip trims and the junction with the main wall — not in the middle of the roof.
Rot at eaves and fascia
Persistent damp shows up first at eaves timbers on riverside lodges, so we check the deck edge before re-covering.
Leadwork at abutments
Cottages within 8 miles of Norwich often have short-life lead or cement fillets that need replacing with correctly sized lead.
Specification options
- 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.
- EPDM rubber membrane
- One-piece rubber for extensions, dormers and garages — no field seams, and it copes well with movement.
- Warm-deck insulation build-ups
- Insulation above the deck keeps the structure warm and reduces condensation risk compared with old cold-deck details.

Flat Roofing & EPDM FAQs
- 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.
- Why does water sit on our flat roof after rain?
- Insufficient fall, a sagging deck or a blocked outlet. On Wroxham 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.
- 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.
- Do we need permission from Broadland District Council?
- Most like-for-like roof work doesn't need consent, but listed buildings and conservation areas can. If your property looks like it falls into that, we'll say so at inspection so it's dealt with before work starts.
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 Coltishall and Stalham get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
