Common roof problems around Wroxham
Riverside properties, lodges and flat-roof extensions.
Split and blistered felt
Old bitumen felt on Wroxham extensions splits at the movement joints and blisters where trapped moisture expands, and overlaying it rarely cures either fault.
Failed upstands and trims
Most flat-roof leaks in Broadland District Council start at the edges, at upstands, drip trims and the junction with the main wall, not out in the middle of the roof.
Rot at eaves and fascia
Persistent damp shows up first at eaves timbers on riverside lodges around Wroxham, so the deck edge gets checked before re-covering.
Leadwork at abutments
Cottages in and around Wroxham, 8 miles from 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 Wroxham (NR12)?
- Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Wroxham is arranged from there. A 24/7 emergency call-out is advertised for active leaks and storm damage, and you'll be told on the phone what is realistic for Wroxham rather than given a fixed promise.
- Do we need permission from Broadland District Council for a roof in Wroxham?
- Most like-for-like roof work needs no consent, though listed buildings and conservation areas in and around Wroxham 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 Coltishall and Stalham get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
