What's involved

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.

Questions

What people ask first.

For an average semi-detached house, budget somewhere between £5,000 and £9,000, depending on the tile or slate choice and roof size. A larger detached house or one with complex hips and valleys will typically fall in the £9,000 to £14,000 range. We provide a written, itemised quote after a free survey so there are no surprises.
A small bungalow typically costs between £4,500 and £7,000 to re-roof, while an average semi-detached house runs from around £6,000 to £10,000. Larger detached properties or those with multiple hips, valleys, or chimney stacks will cost more. We provide a full written quote after a free site survey.
Simple repairs such as replacing a handful of broken tiles or re-pointing a section of ridge typically cost between £150 and £400. If the repair involves forming new lead flashings around a chimney or valley, expect to pay between £300 and £700 depending on the area involved. We'll give you a clear price before any work starts.
GRP fibreglass tends to cost slightly more per square metre than EPDM rubber, but it creates a fully seamless finish that performs very well in exposed locations. Flat roof installation in Wymondham typically runs between £70 and £120 per square metre depending on the system and detailing involved. For most garages and extensions, the difference in material cost between systems is relatively small compared to the labour involved.
For a typical semi-detached house in Wymondham, expect to pay between £1,500 and £3,500 for a full roofline replacement including guttering and downpipes. Larger detached properties or those with hipped roofs will sit at the higher end. We always survey first and give you a written quote before any work starts.
Chimney flashing replacement in Wymondham generally costs between £300 and £700 for a standard single stack, depending on the size of the chimney and the number of lead sections involved. If the surrounding tiles or mortar pointing also need attention, that will be costed separately. We give you a clear written quote after inspecting the stack.
Most chimney rebuilds in Wymondham fall between £1,200 and £3,500, with scaffolding, new brickwork, lead flashing, and a ventilated cap all included. The main variables are the height of the stack and how far down we need to go to reach sound brickwork. We give a fixed price after inspection so you know exactly what you are paying.
Chimney take-downs in Wymondham generally cost between £900 and £2,500 for a standard single stack on a two-storey house, including scaffolding, demolition, and making good the roof covering. Larger stacks or more complex roof coverings such as plain clay tiles will sit at the higher end. We price each job after seeing the stack so there are no surprises.
