Flat Roofing

Flat Roofing in Wymondham

Flat roofing covers a huge range of situations in Wymondham, from garage roofs and bay window tops to full house extensions and workshop roofs. Many properties across South Norfolk still have old built-up felt flat roofs that are well past their useful life and leaking into rooms below. We install modern flat roof systems to replace them properly.

We primarily work with GRP fibreglass flat roofing and EPDM rubber membranes. Both systems are far more reliable than traditional felt and, when installed correctly, will perform well for many years. GRP fibreglass is laminated directly to the deck and creates a seamless waterproof shell with no joints for water to penetrate. EPDM is a single-ply rubber membrane that handles thermal movement well, making it a practical choice for larger areas or roofs over occupied spaces. The choice between systems depends on the roof size, fall, and what it needs to cope with. We'll advise on which is right for your situation.

Flat roofs fail most often because of poor detailing at edges, upstands, and rooflights rather than failure in the flat field itself. Water finds its way in at the perimeters. This is why correct termination at the fascia and parapet, properly dressed upstands, and well-formed outlets matter as much as the membrane itself. A cheap installation that cuts corners on these details will leak within a few years.

We survey your existing flat roof before quoting, measure the falls, check the deck condition, and look at drainage. Where the timber deck is damaged or soft, we replace it before laying the new membrane. Most flat roof installations on a standard garage or extension take one to two days.

Flat roofs in Wymondham typically cost between £70 and £120 per square metre installed, depending on the system chosen and the complexity of the detailing involved. Call us to arrange a free flat roof survey and written quote.
