EPDM and fibreglass flat roofs in Wymondham

Wymondham sits about 10 miles from Norwich, reached off the A11, and that position shapes the flat roofing & epdm we do here. Most of our the NR18 postcode district jobs involve abbey-town period roofs and timber-framed listed buildings, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Why customers in Wymondham call us

  • Independent, Costessey based

    We're an independent firm at 41 The Street, Costessey, working out to Wymondham ourselves rather than passing you to a national call centre.

  • Domestic and commercial

    From a single slipped tile in Wymondham to Chapel Lane and Ayton Road industrial estates, quoted on the same basis.

  • 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.

Common roof problems around Wymondham

Abbey-town period roofs and newer developments.

  • Ponding water

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

  • Domestic and commercial in one visit

    Homes and small commercial premises in Wymondham are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and written specification second.

  • Soft or rotten decking

    Where a Wymondham deck has gone spongy underfoot, the boards come out before any new membrane goes down.

  • Gutter and fascia neglect

    Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on abbey-town period roofs, which ends up costing more than clearing them in Wymondham would have.

Flat Roofing & EPDM FAQs

Do you insulate at the same time?
We can build a warm deck with insulation above the structure, which usually makes sense if the roof is coming off anyway and the room below is cold or prone to condensation.
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 Wymondham 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 Wymondham?
Yes. Scaffold is struck, waste is taken away from the Wymondham address and gutters are cleared before we invoice.
What does a flat roofing & epdm quote in Wymondham cost?
Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Wymondham are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Wymondham address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.

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 Hethersett and Attleborough get the same service, and the written quote is yours to keep and compare.
